Sound Design Post 3

I have decided that what I am going to do for my posts from now on I that I will have the first part containing information on what I have done in class and then I will briefly talk about my own personal experience on Sound that I had within the week.

In class Richie was telling us how to manipulate pitches in Pro Tools. Which can both be used for our sound assignments and our film projects. During class I watched and rewatched the Lara Croft GO video that we were given for our assignment. Then I created a column list for 'Sounds For LARA', Sounds for MONSTERS', 'Sounds For Environment' and 'Miscellaneous'. I also put into the other columns 'Creation' - which contained information on what props I could use to recreate the sounds. Then 'After Effects' for what I may need or want to change about the sounds in Pro Tools.

This week I was playing an MMO game called Final Fantasy XIV. Normally I wouldn't play MMO's because the take too much time and I'm usually not interested. However I am a very strong Final Fantasy fan, and the music is just incredible. So much that sometimes I stop what I am doing, just to listen to music and it just takes my breath away. When I was a little kid, I played a game called Kingdom Hearts, which hit me on a very emotional level and I grew a deep connection with the game. It taught me about Great Storytelling, Friendship, Art, Colour, and most importantly Music. I had a very strong connection with this game and it is fair to say that if I never played it, I would never have become a musician nor would I have gone into the creative media field. Kingdom Hearts draws a strong relation to Final Fantasy and the music within this game is so strong and powerful that I just can't get enough. It really is orchestral music at it's finest. Here is a link to one of my favorite tracks, played by a famous Tokyo Orchestra.
