Each member of the group chose a 30sec section of our sound design piece to animate to. We decided to create the work digitally on software such as Flash and Photoshop with graphics tablets as we all wanted to improve our abilities on them. To keep a flow of consistency from one section to the next, we decided to link them with a white line version of the object creating the 'normal' sound in that section on a black background. Otherwise, we were free to do whatever we wanted as long as it was abstract.

We liked the black & white aesthetic of the video and wanted to incorporate it for our linking scenes.
Other animation research we looked at as a group:
My section was the last quarter of the piece after all the action as such in our sound design has taken place and so things are dying down and fading to an end. I began by researching some abstract imagery, mainly desktop wallpapers sourced from online:
With my section of sound, it was quite stripped back with only a few other sounds throughout its duration over a microwave hum . I broke down the section into individual sounds and gave each of them a name (Chord hum, wisp, bubbly sound, etc.). I then tried to imagine how these could be visualised by experimenting with watercolours. Following on from this I moved on to how these could be arranged together as a composition and thought more in terms of colour palette and shapes used.
