Introduction to Soundtrack: How to create music for your animation project

“We're glad you're here! It was a great pleasure, at the same time a good challenge, for us to prepare and present this course. We hope you enjoyed it and that from now on you will create and produce other personal soundtracks for scenes from existing projects. From the notion of tools, mapping and arrangement techniques and the track's relationships with other sound and visual elements, we believe that you can follow creative paths in this universe. Now, we have selected some essential steps to help prepare your project: • Summarize what you have in your briefing and create your self-briefing, bringing your own perceptions and ideas of possibilities. • Decoupage and map the scene, as seen in class and worked on in the Unit 3 task. If you wish, use the Cuesheet Template that we have included in the additional resources. • Research, create your theme and make its arrangement and mock-up, as seen in Unit 4, so that the theme can fit as best as possible into the narrative of the scene. • Generate your final file, ideally a Sound Movie (can be .mp4), to present your project.

Gather your key steps and comments and share your project by clicking the "Create your project" button. Your publication will be part of your portfolio here at Domestika and will be a space for you to showcase your work in the community. Come up with new ideas, create alternatives, enrich your creativity. Additionally, we invite feedback and comments on the work of the creative community. Take the opportunity to network! Whenever possible, we will also comment on the work and follow what is happening on the forum. Good work and see you next time!”

“Thank you for following us this far on this journey. Now you know all the tools and techniques we discussed. The importance of briefing, do the mapping, the search. You are now ready to create your own soundtrack. Trust your creativity, trust your intuition and the musical knowledge you have. Sometimes they are very small, it's just a little bit. Sometimes there are people who play an instrument very well or who already has prior knowledge of arrangement, of orchestration, anyway. But work out all that you've got, your own musical history, your analysis of the elements that we raised and fr...”
