Sound and Rendering

After texturing had been completed, we put our machines to render at Uni while we constructed the sound together as a group. Render-wize we only had a few minor problems such as a mysterious person switching off our computers one night (we only had three for the four of us so we weren't being greedy) and Maya occasionally deciding to stop rendering random frames!

Putting sound to the piece was fun. Because there were four of us and you can only listen to sound at Uni through headphones, everyone came back to mine where there were speakers and we worked there, listening to sounds and taking it in turns to apply them to the playblasted scene. For the music, we used tracks from the Tim Burton films 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Batman' where both tracks were composed by Danny Elfman. As the tracks were composed by the same person (genious) they blended really well together, as well as being a small tribute to my favourite director and composer.
