Filed in Comments Off on A Lost Pair of Naughtypants
I wrote an outline for a longer animated project than the one I made in college where Naughtypanys gets lost outside and begs for her Fairy Godfather to come to her aid because she’s hungry, scared, and alone. This was the song she was singing while she lamented the loss of her old life. I accidentally wrote this out of my singing range, so if I were to perform it I would need to re-write this in a lower key, but the midi file is below to listen to if you want to hear the tune.

This was the theme to be played when Naughtypants was about the castle as an auditory shorthand of the place. Depending on the mood of the scene, it’s speed could be increased or slowed. Here’s an old fashioned midi file of the castle theme so you can hear what it sounds like.

Hi team,
Just a boring stock photo of music…
Apologies for the not posting last week, I had some trouble with accessing WordPress by myself the first time and got sidetracked.
SO: My band (2 of us) had been recording using quite archaic technology, which worked but took an age to do and required at times lots of processing power and time.
I am pleased to say that we recently updated the studio to iMac and are using a later version of Logic Pro, which is proving to be a powerful, fast and very user-friendly tool. There are several advantages to this tool but one of the most exciting is the ability to view video alongside the audio so that if cue points aren’t in sync we can mark them for adjustment – either by suggesting added frames to the animator or alternately trimming/tempo adjusting the music.
I am also finding that it can clean up a multitude of sins in the recording department so that if there is a timing issue with some words I can ‘flex’ the wave file to fall into rhythm without sacrificing the quality. (there is also a pitch-correction tool – but I despise PC with every fibre of my being)
My next personal project will be to get a workable story/song timeline so I can get a serious idea of the thematic flow of the project. I have some samples of lyric/melody/chord/feel from Glych, but any contribution for new or existing pieces is welcome.
Stay tuned for more on the above in the months ahead.
Cheers
Greg
