Here’s the final product of all the semester’s experiences.

When I first started my searches I didn’t have any concrete idea in mind.  I started looking for sounds I liked.  This led me to rain in the woods, and two audio files.  One sounded like rain, but on a canopy or something, and the other was some kind of weird music.  I saved both and kept looking.  Then I thought I might make it about hiking, so I went looking for roars for a bear attack or something.  The one I choose did not sound like a roar at all, and I changed my direction again.  So then I needed to get my person inside, out of the rain, and to a room where he could encounter this roar.  I tracked down a walking on hard surface audio and clipped and copied it to my needs.  The sound of a door opening and closing I created myself, as well as the sound of a door snapping open-a book being dropped.  Then I started cutting, pasting, and playing.  Here’s the result, and below are the audio tracks I used that I didn’t make myself.

Ta-Daaa!

Because Orcas are awesome.

This juvenile humpback was very energetic this day.  I doubt his mother was impressed, but the passengers loved it.

In the infinite void, three spaceships were docked at a space station.  While waiting for their ships to be cleared for launch, the captains got into an argument about the nature of bravery.

“I shall show you the nature of bravery!” Proclaimed the alien that looked like a lemming.  “You!  Go jump out into the void”  His minion saluted, “Yes sir!”  and ran out and jumped out through the dockyard’s forcefield, dying horribly in moments.

“Bah!  That is nothing!”  Snapped the green alien that looked like a giant preying mantis.  “Attend me!”  She commands.  Her attendants flock to her, and she bloodily dismembers them while gorging herself.

“Watch this,” says the alien that looks like a shaved mole without a snout.  “Private, jump out that airlock.”

The private salutes him, shouting, “**** you sir!” and remains at attention.

The captain turns back to the other two.  “Now that’s bravery!”
