Sound For Multimedia

For this project i was thinking about creating a soundscape for a cartoon. I have found an old (1933) black and white cartoon called “The Air Race” . Its a Willie Whopper cartoon by Ub Iwerks. The cartoon is under Contribution 3.0 creative commons license, so it is legal to share and to remix the media. This cartoon is perfect for a whole bunch of different sound effects. I want to try to modernize this old cartoon with modern sound effects.

0.00 – music accompanying scene, not overwhelming or very noticeable. 1 or 2 instruments. Middling mood.

0.50 – as they walk to the bedroom a sustained horn section will come in and end at 1.02 when the scene cuts.

1.29 – Instruments will swell up to that point, horn line may return, percussion introduced at that point to accompany Black and Which visuals

2.22 – all music cuts down for “thank you,” line. Introduction of lead piano melody at this point. Melody will continue and be elaborated until 3.50 (door closed).

3.58 – Music jumps back in to play credits.

Sound Analysis of Final Project

I want to start out with a quiet underlying sound that will be there through out the whole video.

00:06 A sound to relate to the changing of the 2 videos on the outsides(right & left) changing orientation from vertical to horizontal.

00:27 A sound to relate to the middle video coming to stop from the motion it was in since the beginning.

01:14 A sound to relate to all 3 videos (left, middle & right) stopping.

01:17 A sound for the middle video picking up speed and starting to go into motion.

02:04 A sound to relate to the outer videos (left & right) picking up speed and also going into motion again.

02:24 A sound to relate to the middle video changing orientation from horizontal to vertical.

03:33 A sound to relate to the middle video changing orientation from vertical to horizontal.

03:53 A sound to relate to the outer videos (on the left & right) stopping from the motion they were just in.

04:40 A sound to relate to the middle video stopping and all 3 videos being still at the same time.

04:42 Fading out all the sounds and only hearing the original quiet underlying sound that was played in the beginning.

During my internship last semester (which was basically apprenticing a live visual artist/ VJ) I created lots of clips of videos which were to be looped when played. They were designed to be able to be played to any time of music at any live venue such as a lounge/club/ bar/ restaurant/ gallery space, etc.  These video clips depending on the actual clip, range from 30 seconds to being 10 mins long. I plan on choosing a longer clip and creating a soundscape to it. There are a few clips that my supervisor suggested I submit to festivals but of course they needed sound.

The video clip I think I plan on using is of train footage I shot last Halloween. I plan on creating the soundscape with an abstract approach. The video itself is sort of abstract so the sound should match the look. I might try to create a soundscape that shows what a train ride sounds like to me. I’m going to start fiddling around with sounds and see what fits. Once I see what’s working im going to go in that direction.

• Sound 2 “heavy breathing” 00:00:23 – 00:00:29/ repeated 00:00:35 – 00:00:56
• Sound 3 “metal crunching” 00:00:20 – 00:00:23

• Sound 7 “single zombie moan 1 (male moan)” 00:00:36 – 00:00:38
• Sound 8 “single zombie moan 2 (female moan)” 00:00:37 – 00:00:42
• Sound 9 “single zombie moan 3 (scratchy throat)” 00:00:36 – 00:00:43
• Sound 10 “eating 2 (biting liver)” 00:00:43 – 00:00:46/ transition scene
• Sound 11 “eating 1(chewing)” repeated 00:00:43 – 00:00:52
• Sound 12 “eating 2 (chewing)” 00:00:53 – 00:00:56/ transition scene
• Sound 13 “eating 3 (chomping)” 00:00:54 – 00:00:57/ transition scene
• Sound 14 “hissing noise” 00:00:00 – 00:00:03/ repeated 00:00:51 – 00:01:02

I Chose this scene for it numerous transition stages for its effectiveness.  I noticed without the sounds it seemed pointless to film zombie interactions by themselves.  When in fact we the viewer are primarily interest in seeing zombies attack.  With the sound they appear to be even more gruesome.
