Senior Capstone Project Progress: Expectations

With my Capstone project I'll be using skills pulled from various classes I've taken in the Communications Department here at Shepherd. However this project won't merely be a test of all I've learned. It will itself be a learning experience. Here is what my expectations are in that regard.

My skills as an animator will be put to the test, and in that regard, my skills as a film editor will also come into play. I'll need to improve both for this to be truly high quality, but what I've done in past classes will definitely help me.

I'll need to demonstrate a sound knowledge of, well, sound. Synching sound effects as well as finding ones that fit the action on screen will be something I've only done very little of, but what I did accomplish I felt confident in. I feel I will have no problem with this.

Finally my post production skills will be a deciding factor. My ability to use programs like Final Cut Pro and SoundTrack Pro in order to put the final work together will be a test of the skills I've learned through Music Video, TV News, and Sound Design.

From this project I hope to have a better understanding of how a full production comes together. I've done a full length audio drama in the past, as well as a full length music video, but they only incorporated a few of the aspects of a full production. By working with animation, video editing, and sound, I feel I'll be bringing all of it together in a way that will be both enlightening, and fun.
