The Final Film... With Sound

At last... the film is complete with sound!! Proudly presenting the epic of Captain Mo:

The soundtrack is a combination of my own recordings from around the university, and some drones and environment tracks from the Edinburgh College of Art sound library.

My own sound effects were mostly recorded from around the print studio - screens being loaded into the drying ovens, paint rollers, thumping squeegees on the tables, and the legendary creaking door into the print room (this provided the sound for Cranky reeling in defeat.) These sounds were manipulated using Audacity. This was a programme I had no prior experience with, but I was able to learn the basics quickly and use it for the required effects.

The tracks taken from the ECA sound effects library were as follows:

"Desolation" from Drama Moods And Drones.

"Drama Drone 9" from Drama Moods And Drones.

"Evil Influence" from Drama Moods & Atmospheres.

"Out Of Our Hands 2" from Drama Moods & Atmospheres.

"Red Dragon" from Surreal Percussion.

"Blast Furnace 1" from Environments.

"Landmass" from Dark Drones.

"A Strange Place" from Dark Drones.

"Anguish" from Dark Drones.

"Machine Room" from Drones.

These tracks were adjusted to suit the film and my own sound effects were built on top. The soundtrack was assembled using Garage Band. Ideally, I would have recorded the whole soundtrack myself, but after considering the time limitations this was an excellent alternative.
