Post Production and Film Music
In 4th Year one of our modules was Music for Film. we had to create post and music for selected movie clips of our own choice. This module being a favorite of mine, i love post and doing all the SFX. its great fun. i did sound production in college so i have years of experience at this point. the music side was more new to me and i had a great college Rob to help me along the way. him doing my music and i doing his and vice versa with the SFX in the clips.
The post side i did a range of things. recording my own especially footsteps as they always need to be ADR. i took SFX from my own library and online creating them into new ones or bending them into something i needed. it took time but at the end it created a sound field im proud of. keeping the anime feel but taking it in a new direction in comparison to the original film clip
I learned a lot from this project and had fun, as well a great piece to my portfolio. it also showed me sometimes its better to work together you stop each from going to far down on path and strike a unique creative balance.
trying to integrate music into the clip without having it overbearing was challenging but we found a balance. The synth heavy soundtrack really calls back to the original time of the 80s with the alien films which i think is fun but also keeps it very on theme.
