Week 11

I met with Hania, my composer for coffee and to discuss the soundtrack for my film. I showed her my test animations, layouts and latest animatic and asked for her opinion. She told me that she is excited to be working on the project with me, and because I realise she is very talented I want to give her the opportunity to come up with the score with very little influence from me. I know very little about music so I would only get in the way. I want the score to be original, so I didn’t want to put a soundtrack on my animatic and ask her to come up with a similar sound. Also because I am working solo, I’ve taken a few of her ideas on as far as timing. The only thing I asked was that there be a theme to the music that comes in significantly during the title and credits, and that she realises where the music needs to build up. Everything else I’ve left up to her, and I can’t wait to hear it. I gave her a 30 second piece of the animatic to come up with some experiments. I also worked on getting my background layout painted. Because there is only one setting and essentially only one background, I want it to look as impressive as possible.
