This test encompasses several practises that I need to work on for my final film, including:
Armature acting and general movement
Integration of sound effects
Motion blur (to use or not?)
In particular, this test was meant to highlight the importance of a realistic soundscape for my film.
Adding sound effects really grounds the motion nicely in reality, gives it a sense of weight and firm presence. Without it the motion is acceptable, but you are aware that the motion is being carried out by a 6 inch masking tape man with a small piece of metal. With sound added however it brings a presence and physicality to the character which really brings him to life that bit more, adds that extra dimension needed to really sell the shot.
It's true when they say that well produced sound design makes good animation great.
I hope to spend a fair proportion of time on creating a soundscape for my film, one that will bring it up a notch and make it that bit more professional.
