Editing video & audio

The final stage of the animation is one that I feel can get looked over quite easily especially when putting it all together in after effects. I knew that it was important to have the music sync up with the changes of scene and what was happening on camera. I therefore decided to use premiere as its designed for that purpose unlike after effects. I spent a while trying to cut the video correctly and tinkering with the transitions so it all flowed how I'd originally envisioned it to. I rendered out what I thought was the final copy but after watching properly full screen I tweaked it a little further to make the finished piece.

The original track I'd wanted to use did not quite fit the animation. The intro sequence was the part I was after but it was not long enough and the ending of it was not conclusive enough. I therefore decided to chop the song up in logic so it would cater perfectly to my needs. I looped part of the start and also added a bit onto the end. This took a bit of time as I wanted the changes I'd made to feel seamless as its something that would be very noticeable if it was wrong.
