Nelly Luckett : BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts, UCA Rochester

While I'm putting the finishing touches to my animation and getting everything exported and packaged up, I thought I'd release a little Sneak Peek of the final thing, so here you go!

This is the final soundscape for Clarissa and the Cardiac controllers. I am rather happy with this, but would like to stick some more detail in it when I have more time, however this works well at the moment.

I really enjoyed this project and learnt a lot about the way the film industry leads us and tricks us with sounds. I found Kat's lessons massively interesting, and this is an area I am interested in exploring more. In regards to my final soundscapes, I am particularly happy with Scape 1 and its depth and breadth of sounds. I'm not so satisfied with my other two as I found it a challenge to find sounds that well represented what I wanted. I think if I were to do this project again I would try and spend a bit more time working out where I could find more interesting and/or unusual sounds to include. I also know I could have done more had I balanced my time more efficiently, and not had to focus so intently on the other projects as I feel that this one became a bit of a side project for me, rather than getting the full attention that it definitely deserved. I also discovered a number of challenges that I had previously been mostly unaware of, such as background noises needin...

Nasa space sounds  We were asked to use one of the videos of space provided to us, and using Nasa space recordings, to reconstruct what we thought it would sound like. This is my solar flare soundscape.  We then had to do the same thing but use generated sounds. These are kinda tricky to control.... Dragon Roar We also had to create a Dragon roar from a variety of different animal noises. Mine was created using wolves, porcupines, sea lions and elephants.

This is my first attempt at a soundscape. For this image, the ideas I focussed on were: Vibrating Moving Colliding Clanking Buzzing Flowing Colony Busy Clinking Modulating Pieces Hive. This is the soundscape I arrived at: I may alter this before the final hand in however, at the moment, I am happy with what I have.

Today we had our first audition lesson, playing around and editing animal sounds together to create a Dragon. I only had about 30 mins due to a medical appointment, so I'm quite happy with what I got. And this was the sound I created for its roar. I was very happy with this given the time that I had but I hope to play with it more in the next couple of weeks. 

During our briefing today we were given starting points for both our Soundscapes project and the Script to Screen project. Soundscapes For this project we were given three images and asked to create a 30 second soundtrack for what we think each image would sound like. I decided to start by brainstorming ideas of what each image made me think of. This was a bit of a challenge but ultimately should help me start figuring out what direction to take the sounds in for each soundscape.  Soundscape 1 My initial thoughts/ideas were: Vibrating Moving Colliding  Slither Bustle Busy Layers Clicking Clanking Metal Organic Fingerprint Changing Modulating Buzzing Alive Chasing Occupied Smooth Curves Flowing Pieces Parts Machine Colony Hive Repetition Soundscape 2 My initial thoughts were: Pumping Dropping Difference Round Overall Busy Empty Full Bubble Emptying Group Hive School Heart Disintegrate Dying Surrounded Me...
