Research in sound design.

The process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements. It is employed in a variety of disciplines throughout the media spectrum. I in this case, will be using it in my final animation to reflect the mood of the film. I will be mainly recording my own sounds and manipulating the audio to create the desired effect. As a pianist, I am also playing on the idea of composing my own piece to add to the animation however, this is still yet to be decided as there is a huge work load involved.

As the feel of the film is suppose to be quite mystical and magical with a slight air of darkness about it, I've been looking into music that could portray this.

Celtic Fairy Music - Dance of the fairies

Omnia - Fairy Tale (Instrumental)

Tales of the Night (Original)

A Witches Tale

I want something quite slow and contemporary. The use of string instruments and percussion create that element of magic and curiosity that I want to include, with this I have searched into music that give of this feel. Anything that explores the idea of the unknown and mystical gives of this image such as fairies and witches, however it is not necessarily these images that I want the sound to convey but something more magical and surreal. More like things coming to life when you see them as the power of magic fills the room.
