The vival video we produced did not really evolve as planned due to a variety of reasons. I think the Idea itself of having noises substituted for real world sounds has potential but in a narrative form it didnt not quite work out. The idea stemmed from just being able to make familiar sound vocally. Instead of having a concoction of sounds over a story, having just a sequence of different, unique sounding objects that are comical or interesting would have better to work with.

The filming conditions were slightly problematic as we were using a camera that  recorded in an unusual format that was quite a hassle to work with as it required re-encoding and adjusting before it was able to be worked with. The filming itself required us to use a gorilla cam tripod pretty much strapped to my neck and was quite uncomfortable for the duration of the work.

If I were to do this piece again, I would definitely spend time story-boarding and visualizing the project before it got the the working and editing stage as i feel it would have helped a lot in the long run and we wouldn’t have to edit on the fly. Overall I am happy with the idea for this piece, but not so much with the execution.
