Let there be sound.

For my audio I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to create something that was quite simple and pleasant in order for it to fit with the mood of the story. I had considered playing my guitar however after doing research for another purpose I came across Walt Disney's "Steamboat Willie" and loved the scene at with Mikey Mouse steering the boat and whistling. I found it so simple but really effective at the same time because there wasn't too much to it, but it was still a major contribution to the animation.

I did do about a billion attempts at this because whistling a tune into a microphone for 27 seconds isn't always as easy as it may seem! 

I did it on Garage Band because it was the software which I had available on my laptop, I also added the Fuzz effect to it because it made it sound more enhanced. Once I was ready to add this to my animation, I needed to convert it to a Quicktime file in order for it to be applicable with the Macs in college. 

Even though it is just a tune I made up in my head, its amazing how much it gets stuck in my brain. I am wondering how many people will be sick of hearing it by the end of this brief..
