The Ladz: Week 7

Safe and Sound

We began recording sounds for foley and voices this week. After having an informal audition we decided the voice that suited Tom/Tomatinator was the voice of Ben, our tutor.

We recorded foley using props that we had lying around, using this extensive spreadsheet as a guide:

The non-diegetic sounds will be made by a music student Morgan contacted. 

What went well:

• The audio we recorded fit quite well for our animation since we could tailor it to suit our needs,
• Being 'hyper-organised' really benefitted us since we managed to record everything we needed.

What could be improved:

• We could've exapnded our range and used casting websites like Mandy.com to find voice actors,
• A script/description of the Tomatinator/Tom Ato for the voice-actor (Ben), would've helped him understand the character better,
• I need to learn to mute both the microphone and speakers before switching between them to avoid that ear-piercing feedback...
