Finished Audio Animation


After watching my stop animation over and over again I finally decided on the sounds I wanted to incorporate. For my animation I really wanted to kind of go for noises that were realistic considering the actual plot of the film is quite the opposite of realistic. I got most of my sounds from the website freesound.org and then I also got a few from youtube.com. When deciding what noise I wanted to be playing, I watched my video and tried to imagine what noise would be made if I were watching my film play out in real life. The part that I had the most difficulty with was the voice of the characters. I was not sure if I should have made them had sounds for voices or actual voices. When I decided that I wanted to give them personalities, I went with giving them actual voices. For the murderer I chose a disoriented noise of a record being scratched. This noise really gave the eerie, bad guy kind of vibe.
Like I said previously, I found most of these noises on freesound.org. to get the constant background noise of birds chattering, I typed in “early morning” and then used the first option. For the voices, I went on to youtube and searched “simish language” and then found a video where there were multiple sim voices, it was exactly what I needed. Then I just converted that video using a youtube video converter website. For the rest of the noises I just typed in the sound I believed it would have made in real life.

  2. I though this was awesome. Especially the voices, I think it adds to the video that you didn't have actual voice actors that would have said the dialogue.

  3. Your video is my favorite, I really like that you used the Sim's voices, it shows that they speak a different language and are a different species from humans haha great work!

  4. I love how you can only really understand the one word in all the dialogue. I also really like how you have the slow dramatic music start after the card is shot. It adds some drama to a very funny video.

  5. Haha, I still can't get over the Sims voices. Your sounds definitely added a lot to your piece, even though I didn't think you'd need any when I first saw it with just video. The sounds help display the emotion very well.
