Assignment 7 - Slideshow

Jack and Annabelle Slideshow

After taking and looking at 200+ photos, the slideshow is finally completed. The photos are not Photoshopped even though there were several that I color corrected and cropped in Final Cut Pro. I decided not to use iMovie because the automatic Ken Burns effect irritated me and audio level control in Final Cut is less stressful to deal with.

Overall, working without images was more difficult for me because I'm not used to working without visuals. But once I incorporated the images, I literally breathed a sigh of relief. I'm glad I did this project because I've always wanted to try stop-motion but the lengthy process intimidates me. So I feel that this project is a step towards it.

Sound Project - Jack and Annabelle

Jack and Annabelle

This sound project is based on the Barbie and mannequin photographs that I took. Partly inspired by Toy Story and Alma, it kind of becomes Toy Story with an adult twist. This is not the final product in terms of sounds, sound placement will slightly change once I incorporate the visual elements.

 I recorded all the nat sounds with the exception of the static, heartbeat and high heels. The "voices" for Jack and Annabelle characters are downloaded off the Net.
