Transmedia Collaboration/Networking Session

The collaborations session on November 3rd gave not only gave me the opportunity to display my current motion graphics showreel but also to view other's work across various pathways. After the observational session, the two people that caught my eye were Robert Brook (sound designer) and Josh Manley (also motion graphics). We thought that each of our styles could work to compliment one another's so we have decided to form a working group.

Robert's Initial Sound Piece

This piece caught my attention because of the way in which is creates atmosphere and impact on it's audience, which isn't an easy task. This soundtrack oozes tension and uneasiness, and Rob's ability to construct and convey this emotion shows that he could definitely bring lots of talent and skills into our final production.

Immediately after the session, we met as a group and began discussing preliminary ideas:

• Setting that could be complimented by an intense, atmospheric and experimental soundscape with heightened, dramatic visuals: in Space.
• Spaceman trying to weigh down his tv (or object) so it doesn’t float around, scratching head (things won’t stay still)
• Finds a pet
• opens visor and starts to suffocate
• dramatic serious start, clicks button, everything silent, then music starts to play, he looks confused, and then starts dancing.
• Want to create something atmospheric, visually compelling, but perhaps with a humurous side to the narrative?
