Progress Report

4/11/16 Today Manny and me had another skype session so discuss our progress. He was happy with what I had done with the footsteps and we were both pleased to see the video slowly take shape. It’s funny how the difference between no sound and sound, even just footsteps, can give a film life and …

Catching up and editing

3/11/16 Today I took some time to go over and edit some of the sounds I had recorded on Mondays studio session. In total there was about 40 odd different sounds to play with. However, I only implemented a few of them into the project. Originally I had planned to make the cane sound with …
