Added sound to the videos, cut and edited in Final Cut, Voice over recorded. Added transitions between frames in final cut within the Squid animation.

Sound Editing

Finished up editing sound and recording sounds for the squid animation and zombie animation, I used 'Final Cut Express HD' to put the sounds together and get the sound to fade in and out when required, as well as set the timing to fit the video's pace.
For the squid, I originally thought to use cartoon like sounds for the explosion of ink and the bouncing squid, but after much testing I found it worked better with a calm background ambiance and bass line as this helped imitate underwater movement the best. I also added the voice over using my own voice to help explain the meaning of the animation, as after showing a few people the animation they did not completely understand (or even know) what the NSS was. I used my own voice so that the sound was something the audience can associate with due to sounding androgynous and teenage.

Updated zombie Background

Still unsure of the colour set, will keep altering it till i think it fits as I personally think the scene is too dark, and will make the whole animation seem dull in its colour set.

Computer Appearance

Within this scene I've tried to compensate for the buoyancy of the water, but as a computer is a rather heavy thing, I found it would still fall fast. I added the rope to help show why the computer was suspended and didn't just sink to the ocean floor, hopefully making a little more sense then it just stopping mid drop.




I concentrated on the squish of the tentacle to make it appear that pressure was being added to the keypad, though I think it could be improved by adding a few more tentacles and at a faster rate as the scene progressed.
