Sound Visualization: Phase 4

When it came to animating my mashup I thought to myself how certain thing would move around the page and fade in and out. I decided to have my staccato patterns bounce around the page to represent that staccato feel and I decided to make my legato patterns slowly fade in and out to represent a more calmer feel. The two songs I chose were Shockandawe by Miguel (staccato) and Can’t Bring this Down by Bridget Mendler ft Pell (legato). In my animation I worked on trying to get the music to match up to what was happening on screen and I feel like it somewhat does.

Time spent on animation 3 hours.

Sound Visualizations : Phase 3

 

This project involved many elements. There was sound, and how we imagined it with the help of lines, shapes, rhythm and repetition. The position and scaling and repetition  of each image helped with forming a balanced Mashup of Legato and Staccato figures. I learned Legato an Staccato are a form of sounds. Staccato being separated from each other and Legato a long steady consistent flow. I also used Photoshop, to animate my composition, to create movement to the different forms of sounds added in the animation.  With the next project, I’ll feel a lot more confident working with Photoshop.  I enjoyed watching my hand draw creation come to life on the screen.
