My Final Animatic With Sound

I have now recorded all the sound effects for my finished animatic/animation! here is the result:



I'm really pleased with how most of the sound effects came out - the only one I'm slightly unsure about is the sound made as the hut crashes into the sea. As this sound effect was recorded in a bathroom, the tiled walls resulted in a lot of reverberation that I struggled to get rid of completely through noise reduction and EQ without making the audio sound too washed out. This may be worth revisiting if I get time - If it was rerecorded in an environment with normal walls I'm confident that it would sound fine.

I also mentioned in a previous post that once I had completed the sound for my animatic, I would be able to make a more informed decision as to which segment to animate. Now that the sound is done, I feel that the most dynamic section to animate would be the scene in which the bird lands on top of the hut. I was very happy with the way the sounds contributed to the visuals here, particularly the way the hut owner's footsteps cause the hut to creak as he leaves; this shows the age and weathered nature of the hut effectively and concisely. I all I just feel that this segment is the most rich in terms of both audio and visuals, therefore this section will best showcase the overall feel of the animation in the short amount of time given.
