The aim for this blog is to introduce “The Knight & The Llama” animation and to share the development process of the audio production.
Synopsis.
Set in an old palace, the story is about a knight attempting to get to a sleeping llama to slay him for his coat. Upon approaching the animal he gets caught up in many dangerous traps which he successfully (by luck) conquers. Despite his enormous efforts to reach his goal, he finds that the llama is conscious of his presence and pulls a nearby lever, releasing the knight through a hidden floor trap.

Aim & Objectives Of Project:
To create the entire soundtrack to “The Knight & The Llama” animation which will include the combination of original musical composition and sound design elements.
The way that I will conduct this project is by simply clearing a few OBJECTIVES, which will enable me to complete the soundtrack to an industry standard:
- To Research Into Similar Styles Of Work Which Will Influence Me
- To Compose Original Music That Fits With The Animation & Directors’ Theme
- To Record, Collect & Edit Sounds To A Professional Standard – This Includes: Atmospheres, Spot Effects & Foley
- Keep Blog Updated For Personal Use
- Develop A Professional Relationship With Animators & Learn How The Sound Department Works In This Particular Industry
Submission Formats:
The best way for me to submit the audio files is by creating separate stems for each element of the soundtrack. This is for the tutor to recognise how each element is constructed.
