For this project, we were provided 3 different clips that we could have done the audio post production for but I felt no connection to the materials so decided to choose something other than those. I initially wanted to do a clip from a stop motion animation, like the first few minutes of Coraline or possibly something from Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr fox. Stop frame animation interested me because it’s so stylised and I believed it could be interesting to create something in line with that. I then remembered a fascination I used to have with Disney Pixar Shorts, and so chose Day and Night, which I remember watching in the cinema before Toy story 3 in 2013. I knew this would be a challenge for a few reasons.

1. I had already seen it a fair amount of time and so would find it difficult to remove my existing knowledge of the short, to create something different.
2. The short has so many different facets and sections that it would be interesting and difficult to try and find/create sounds that matched the energy of the animation.

Overall, I’m glad I chose this short; I find the story heartwarming and was happy to have the chance to work on this animation that I loved so much as a 10 year old.
