EP: Weekly Progress - 26/03

This week I have managed to complete another small section of animating that brings my total up to 8 seconds. Although this isn't where I particularly wanted to be at this stage, progress is progress and I feel as though I am slowly getting quicker at working, however, I am struggling a little, as I feel as though I have fallen behind massively.
Having said this, I plan on completing a few small and 'easy' sections in the next week, as I feel that this will help to boost my confidence and make me feel productive and like I am making good progress.

Not only have I managed to do this, but I have also received a music sample from Daniel and have been able to get an idea of where he wants to take the music and how he feels the score should sound. I have also started to think about Foley/ background sounds as well and began to add in the sounds for the storm scene, as I wanted to give Daniel a better idea of how the animation will start, as I not sure I want music to start until the titles show on screen.


Although I only have a sample of music, one which Daniel says will change quite a lot when he figures out timings and such, I feel that it suits my animation quite well and he has definitely listened to my ideas and what I want my film to be about and portray. I feel that he has a very good understanding of the tone and mood of the animation and how to create emotion within his music and I am really pleased with where he is taking this.

However, I do feel that the music is a little intense in places and I'm not 100% sure that I would want the music that loud. But this is something we can discuss when Daniel has worked on refining his ideas a little more. 
Also, as mentioned before, I'm not 100% certain that I want music in the introduction of my animation, as the soundscape changes quite suddenly and rapidly from peaceful and calm to a thunderstorm and back. I have sent this copy to Daniel and I will see what he has to say about the changes I have suggested. 

Overall, I am pleased with the initial ideas and all I need to focus on now is getting the animation done.
