Officially in production!!!

This is my basic sound effect pass. It's not well mixed at all, but I just put it together to show Emmeline all the sound effects I had in mind. I don't know how good any of this will sound with music included, but I figure that the music she's composing is the most important sonic element of the film and that if any sound effects or ambience get in its way, they can go.

I already got some feedback on this sound effect pass. And I've also already added a lot to the animation since this export. Anyway, here are the changes to be made from here:

Sound notes

• Make car in background smaller and quieter
• In macro bug shots, bring bug sounds a lot louder and cars way quieter
• Van should go beep beep OR vroom vroom NOT BOTH
• Add ambiences and sfx for farm scene, take them out later if it doesn't work with music!
• Also, add amb throughout. If it doesn't work THEN take it out
• In extreme macro bug shot, NO amb
• Take out ladybug going grrrr and just have it quiet with loud wet crunch
• Lorraines little Ah when she opens her mouth should be like 12 fr earlier
• Add truck sounds for cityscape
• More pronounced lick sfx

Visual notes

• More smears thru out
• Speed up fall. like by half a second or something
• When Lorraine runs she should be even floppier
• Take away car sfx right before van
• Redraw the van as a uhaul or something, it's not clear that it's a moving truck
• Add another second of Lorraine closeup sad intro face in mirror shot1.
  
• Lorraine's mouth should quiver exaggeratedly in bathroom scene
  
• Lorraine's acting should be super exaggeratedly sad, brows furrowed, lips quivering etc.
  

Backgrounds Update
In between rough animation, I've been working on backgrounds as well. There are two camera moves in the whole 2 minutes, and I've animated both in separate TvPaint projects.
​I've also started adding nicer linework and basic color (no shading yet) to backgrounds (cafe and bathroom). Just to work on something easier than animating and get a feeling of reward.

I really don't like this background so far but I have plans to fix it.

• vary the shades of blue
• calm down the damn green and red
• more shading in just blues
