soundtrack.

Before beginning animating i felt it was important to select the song which i would of liked to use, so that i had something to animate to, something to time the movements with.




Something that i feel would work really well for my animation is something, jazzy, upbeat but with a slow tempo, something ambient.. just some nice happy, jazzy, 'rich' music.
I asked around for some ideas that would work well,
something similar to the sounds of Mr Scruff and Quantic.
here is a list of artists that would work really well;
-Mr Scruff
-Quantic
-Bonobo
-Luke Abbot
-Attress
-Four tet.
..so i began filtering through their songs to narrow down the perfect track for my animation.


here are the songs which i picked out that i thought would work really well for the pase and feel i would like for my animation.

The final songs which i narrowed it down from were these;

 Keaver and brause - awake

 Quantic - transatlantic  Quantic - time is energy Bonobo - kong

All very similar songs, with a jazzy upbeat feel which would work great for my animation however i feel that quantic - transatlatic would work best by far, just a nice happy beat, with lots of beats and trumpets which would work really nice to time an animation to, however i now had to loop and cut out the key parts of the track which i wanted in my animation, initially i only wanted the first 5 second and the middle part of the track however it doesnt last long enough without changing completely so using audio editing software i cut out the start which i wanted and then the middle part, timed them together so they sounded in time. Then looped the part from the middle which i wanted over and over again so the song lasted long enough.
