...what a cliche

| Saturday, 29 January 2011 | |
So it's all over, how anti-climatic. There was no last minute rush, no lost files, no errors in file conversion o_O I'm a bit disappointed to be honest :P

The final soundscape film wasn't exactly how I had imagined it - but it went a lot better than I thought it would half way through.

I filmed most visual sequences in the same place, with a black background as a white one seemed to detract from the actual objects being filmed. There were some sequences that were found footage and it was 50/50 in my opinion as to them working. I really liked the explosion at the end but was less pleased with the train sequence - I'd really like to re-film some of it and improve a lot as well. I'm torn as to whether the train sequence should remain as a real train or be a toy on the same black background for continuity.

My main inspirations for this were over the top cliched metaphors and imagery as well as the way the yellow robot from the film 'Flubber' communicates with other characters - through the use of found footage that she downloads and plays alongside her speech.

There are several sequences I wish I had been able to produce and I definitely want to return to this and fix all the issues as if I can make it as I had originally planned, I think it could be a very good piece.
