Final Project

Final Project - Proposal

1. I will be working on a project by the name of "The *Interesting* Life of a Balloon". This is the story of a lonely balloon by the name of Herb that finds a friend and becomes happy. He also changes color based on his mood. He rapidly changes color when surprised. The logline of this story is: An unusual being with human feelings goes through the happy feeling of finding a good friend.
2. The characters that will make an appearance are (not in order):

• Herb.
• Dwayne the Rock.

3. I will be using Adobe Flash (Action Script 3.0) to animate. The visuals will 100% mine. I will use a microphone to add audio into my file.

Per 6. Project!

Identifying Sounds

Today for Movie Monday, we watched a few Tom and Jerry episodes. I have compiled a few (5) of my favorite sounds from them and what was actually used to make them.

1. The Piano Music. This is quite obvious but I heard it a few times in the episodes, it is made with a Piano.
2. The Smashing Sound. This is made most probably by wood snapping/cracking.
3. The Intro Music. This is made with a guitar/trombone.
4. The Fashion Song. You only hear this in the first episode but it sounds great. It is probably made by an orchestra.
5. The Broken Guitar. When Tom gets the guitar snapped on his head, the sound is made by a spring.
