Sound Clip

This is the sound clip I have chosen from the 7 other clips that I had to choose from. One of the main reasons I chose this was because of its length - approx 12 seconds. The other voice clips are longer than this in duration and some go up to 20+ seconds. Considering the deadline for this animation is 4th May 2011, I only have about 2.5 weeks left of animation time. I feel that it is more important to focus on the quality than quantity.

Furthermore, the limitations of this assignment was that I was only allowed to animate one character on screen. The other sound clips has dialogues between 2 characters and I felt that a lot of staging and potential is lost when we aren't allowed to show the other character as they interact.

I want to discuss some of the limitations of this voice clip. The problem I have with this voice clip is that it is a one person monologue with no progression. The whole clip is more of a statement made by one character and has no noticeable change in emotional state or voice range. In many ways, this can make the animation appear dull or boring. I do believe however, that if done correctly, it can still be equally impressive when the character appears to be saying the dialogue from his own will.
