Sound Experiment 04
Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it. For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image. Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi
Hey Odin, God of Thunder... just me chipping in as inspired by your various maps above! My first impression here is that you've almost got somekind of Marvel-esque origin story here: it's common that men in prison spend a lot of time working out, so there you've got this immediate fit between your environment and your character; it's also a trope of superhero origin stories that a person is experimented on (sometimes against their will, sometimes as part of an undisclosed plan by 'them') - and what that those experiments ultimately result in some kind of super-power. Indeed, I'm pretty sure this is the origin story for Luke Cage!
ReplyDeleteBut... in terms of 'body-builders' I did think straight away of animals famous for their size-to-strength ratio - so ants/termites sprang to mind, and the idea that your story takes place on a microscopic level somehow?
There's a classic structure here maybe of rivals - so two body-builders vying for some kind of strongest man competition - and how, in their respective efforts to win/cheat, things get more and more out of hand... ending up with someone/both of them going to jail...
& this is a wild card; but the microscope again got me thinking about your story taking place at the cellular level, and I thought about 'stem cells' as being literal 'body-builders' - this is an animation after all... so maybe you could go in this sort of direction...
