SOUND 4 ANIMATION

Rosa Hughes is a professional animator who alternates her time between freelance projects, working within the gaming industry and having fun! Mark Tweedale introduced me to Rosa during my honours studies at uni and I completed this sound effects track for her during that time. In 2005 Rosa was a finalist with 'Umbrella' in the Queensland Fast Film awards. To find out more about Rosa and her work just visit her site www.rosatron.com.

Music by Chuckimai

Originally all Rosa wanted for this soundtrack was some machine sound effects added to the beginning of the Chuckimai music she had already edited and animated to. Instead I completely replaced the music at the beginning and end of the animation with mechanical sounds and bird/children sounds respectively, as well as turn the music volume down in various other places to feature city, bird, children, and special effects sounds. This not only heightened the sensorial dynamic of the animation but also the dramatic impact of the music by making it seem as though it had been written for it, which it hadn't.
