Still Gallery

I felt like this project was more of a challenge than the sound design assignment. It's more difficult to create when something when you have to work off of someone else's work. To a certain extent it limits the imagination. We were given the track "You Can Have Any Colour As Long As It's Black." One thing we noticed was how subtle the track was. There was a lot of silence, moments of loudness, and repetition of different vocal effects. We tried to arrange our stills around the track in the form of a symphony. There was a feeling of different movements in the track, each one was devoted to a different kind of sound (Dialogue, Echoes, etc.). We used the spiders (rotating each one 180 degrees about 3 or 4 times) as a transition point between movements. We tried using a bunch of different video and transition effects throughout. We used a wave filter on the first spider, but the most effective parts occur during the echo section where we took a shot of an alleyway and used a mirror distortion and reflected the image four times. We also used a ripple effect on a motion shot and a picture of me looking through a cone. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use as many transitions and filters as we wanted to. They worked for some stills but wouldn't work for others. I'm not that impressed with how our project turned out but I could be proven wrong like I was on the sound design assignment.
