Technically I chose a planetary style, because I want to immerse the audience as much as possible by rendering the dome dark. In testing, I liked the darker films with small areas of colour and brightness and found the films where you are in an undefined space able to create a stronger sense of motion. | Technically I chose a planetary style, because I want to immerse the audience as much as possible by rendering the dome dark.

'''The Method'''<br> | |||
I started off wanting to do a film entirely with real images in a stop motion sequence, one image taking up the whole dome. I was intrigued by the idea that images you used had to be distorted to be seen as normal in the dome, so I started taking pictures of spherical things. As I tested these ideas I decided the classic space-based content worked best in the dome, so I combined those two ideas into this music visualisation, including light based pictures - taking inspiration from light stop motion - because this looks like astronomical events. | |||
I made the balls with music on by coating balls of polystyrene in papier mâché, painting them, then drawing on actual music notation from the piece by Liszt I was originally going to use. When I was using this music, the ball rotated in time with the music, so it showed the notes as they were played. Now, however, the movement is a little smoother which I find suits this music better. I also photographed some other balls, one painted orange and one shaded grey. I only used the orange one, but animated both. | |||

I am also doing the sound effects for 'Hide and Seek' by Andréanne Chartrand-Beaudry. | I am also doing the sound effects for 'Hide and Seek' by Andréanne Chartrand-Beaudry. | ||
For this, I searched through sound libraries to get outside ambient tracks and some good quality bird sounds as well as recorded my own in a studio and combining them to create entirely different sounds, for example, birds fluttering out of trees from an umbrella. I synchronised and edited the sound effects in pro tools. Samples coming soon. | |||
