Adding sound to the Animation...

Logic pro audio editing

Audio editing whilst Animation plays

Most people would just use premiere pro to add sound to there finished projects but i prefer to render just the editing in premiere pro to a MOV file and then open it in Logic pro 8 to add sound to the project. The reason i do this is because i find it much easier and quicker to Add and produce audio for film and animations. Logic has massive audio database of thousands of sounds and iv been using it for 6 years so im very familiar with its interface and functions. The basics of adding audio to the animations is to aid the visuals and increase the effectiveness of the animation and i think the sound really does this well. Most of the audio added was cartoon style sound effects like for example where he hits his hand on the breeze blocks i used a sound which is the opposite to what you would expect to hear and creates a sense of comedy, then followed buy a twirling noise to help aid his twisting eyes while he is in pain which works really well i think. lots of scenes in this animation use this technique and i think it just works well with the style of the animation.

The next move is to then export the audio or (Bounce as its called in the audio world) back into premiere pro and line up both the audio and video so they match and then do a final export (render) of both the video and audio together for the final version of the MOV file animation. As you can see below in the screen shot (Both video and audio synced up reader for final render of animation).

Audio and video synced in premiere pro ready for final render.
