Animatrix Sound Design

Hello again!

This is one of the bigger projects I did in my second year. We were basically given a choice of about 10 video clips, and our challenge was to completely redo all of the audio within about 12 weeks. This meant recording, arranging, mixing AND mastering! Big feat, but we got through it well enough and thankfully got a 1st for it. Anyhow, here is the finished product.



Now this is all well and good, but for a university to mark someone on their own work within a group, they need evidence. This is where the second part of the module comes into play - the 'Making Of' DVD. This was a lot of fun, because it meant we had to set everything up to film, as well as record. As we had to do this part on our own, it sometimes meant several cameras rolling and as you can imagine, it sometimes got out of hand! We got there in the end though, and this is the piece I produced. I will say one thing though - these bit of dialogue were memorised and had to be said at least 20 times each, so thats why I look all grumpy. And our time limit was 7 minutes, I would have done a lot more if I could!



I can't take credit for all this work though, as there were 2 other people who finished this product with me - Jamie Foy and Simon Taylor. Jamie was the senior mastering engineer and mix engineer while simon was the voice actor for many characters (teacher, kid, agents etc), ADR director and mixing assistant.
