Audio Keyframes

Jessica Cupitt (n7542399)

The task was to animate using audio keyframes. Besides that, there was no specific goal, so I thought that it could perhaps be a little silly, to match the audio.

I used the same character twice and made them move slightly differently. (I also changed the shirt colour to red on one, just to make them different.)

I used the graph editor quite a bit to amplify the motion in the audio keyframes. I also used the pickwhip to make some expressions and then changed them slightly, particularly with the position frames, so the characters would be centred instead of off in a corner.

I quite like the end result.

I wonder if a similar method is used for the windows media player's visualisations...
