Begin looking for video sources, potential short clips (1-2 minutes) to use as a source video for your first sound and music setting.  This is the video clip you will be using for the next couple of weeks so choose something of interest to you, something you think you like and think you might enjoy working with.

Here are several samples (each around 1-2 minutes, sound removed) for those who would rather have the source video supplied (right-click image and choose "Download as..." or similar):

a) Video from class (MTV-style sound removed)

Excerpted from "Stop" by Eoin Duffy on blender.org, 2007 Suzanne Awards WINNER of "Best designed short film"

b) Slow moving animated blob

Excerpted from "Meischeid" by Matray on blender.org

c) HD video (1080p) with characters (may take a long time to dowload!!)

Excerpted from the "Orange Open Movie project", Elephant's Dream

If you have any trouble viewing this or any other video source, download and use VLC as your default video player.

1. Using recording techniques discussed in class in combination with sounds from sflib (the CEMC soundfile library) or freesound, compile a library of sounds appropriate to your chosen video source.  You may wish to check out a hand-held recorder to make environmental or other recordings.  The result should be a minimum of 50 sounds sorted in a meaningful way with directories and subdirectories (or "folders" and "subfolders").  I would encourage you to make "families" of related sounds or variations of a single sound.

Please hand in the resulting folder using the network drive, on the CEMC desktop as "coursework-->MUSIC_3421".   See this FAQ for other suggestions about naming.
