Roles, Significance, Importance of Sound/Audio in the Animation Production Pipeline



First thing first, We were given a task by our teacher to reflect on the roles, significance, Importance of sound/audio in the animation production pipeline.




Animation Pipeline

As you can see, sounds are playing an important role in the animation. It is unconsciously done in different level of production. You need to make a sound that will be appropriate and perfectly fit on your animation. Have you ever watched an animation that has no sound? Can you imagine how dull it is to watch an animation film that has no sound?



Sounds effects play an important role because it conveys action that you want to let your viewers understand. Sounds help express emotion. It helps establish the mood and feel the atmosphere of the animation. Adding it to the animation give life to the characters and give meaning as it cry, sad, happy, scream or any action.



Sounds are very essential because it helps you relate to the story of the film and it gives you the best experience, like you can feel that you are part of the movie, an example of it are horror films. Which will likely give you an intense feeling, character that is screaming without a sound or character that is screaming with a sound? I bet it can easily attract you if there is a sound. Most of the viewers will also like to join the character on shouting if they can hear the character shouting, they basically get carried away more easily with sound in it. 




These are the things that I believe that music/sound is very important. Based from my experience as an animator student, sounds will be really great to give more life and meaning in your animation. Hope you learn something!  Good luck!

As of my previous, this is another cute rat.





Things used in Adobe Illustrator:

-Pen tool
-Swatches

First, you need to use pen tool to make a path to be filled with colors/strokes. In this case. my path is color blue and black. And I filed them with colors like white, gray, and light blue and have a background filled with yellow green.

create a path

3D Revolve Option

The 3D Revolve Option window should pop-up and looks like the image below. Click onMore Options if the lower portion window is not showing. You can leave most of the settings as default, but add an additional light spot by clicking on the New Light icon and drag it to the lower left corner as shown. Enter 35 for Blend Steps, maximum Blend Steps is 256, higher Blend Steps will have a better rendering quality but will also increase the file size.
