For my audio I have researched a
variety of materials and sources. For the majority of the SFX I will
be using www.freesfx.com and
the BBC SFX archive at the college. I have identified a variety of
sounds that each of the characters will need during the animation.
For the bird I have a series of comic squacks and chirps. He also
needs to jump and fly so I have a springy bouncing sound and a
flapping sound. The robot requires a slightly larger range of sounds
to make the mechanics sound believable. I have steam pistons
releasing pressure for when the robot is activating and then a
variety of mechanical sounds for when it moves. Environmental sounds
consist of junkyard ambience in which you can hear motors and
clanking sounds. There is also an industrial magnet in my animation
which I have used the sound of an electrical current for.
I am also going to be using the
track “golden oldies,” for the musical score. It was taken from
the Ren and Stimpy production music. I feel that this track is
particularly fitting not just because of the time but because of the
old timey piano and the atmosphere that it creates for the overall
animation. The feeling is upbeat and high paced which goes well with
the atmosphere I am trying to create. Other sounds I have identified
are squeaking wheels for the robots cart, a few comic sounds to
highlight some of the comedy moments and a series of more subtle
robotic sounds for when the robots arm is isolated at the beginning
of the cartoon.
