Creative Compositing - Week 11 - Sound and the Final Version

Before I could put the sound on I needed to lighten up the image you could see through the camera screen. This will make sure the audience can see the difference between the two and also when you look at something through a camera it is a diferent colour to what you are seeing.

The above link shows this change, and what the final composit looks like without sound. I am very please with the result I have so far and will next begin to look for atmospheric music to match this piece.


Sound

For the sound I wanted something creepy and atmospheric. I went on Youtube to see if I could find anything that would match the animation.

I typed in creep gargoyle music and this is the sort of stuff I got:

The one above did not fit the composit, I wanted something that gradually increased and became louder when we are looking through the camera.

The one above did not fit either as it was too high pitched and sounded too delicate.

This is the sound track I chose to use - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMUQJM4EJ6g
It is off youtube and I do not own the copyrights for it.
This sound was good as it sounded very gothic from the beginning and then gradually became louder.

Below is the composit with the above sound.

I also found some thunder sound effects, which I wanted to put, when the purple sky is shown.

Final Composit

I am pleased with the overall result, I feel the music and sound goes well with the composit and it added to the atmosphere of the piece. I wanted the fantasy world to be creepy and the gargoyle to look like a cartoon. I think these opposites of creepy and 'cute' work in this piece.
