FLASH: Final Soundtrack


The sound I chose to use is called Game Over from the One Year Older album for the webcomic  Homestuck which was released August 2012 on Bandcamp.

I chose this song because it brings out a lot of emotions for me because of the connection to my favourite webcomic it has. It feels sad and yet bittersweet. That the end of something has come but that's okay.

It was the twinkling sound throughout the song that influenced me to add stars. For a while, I wasn't sure what else I could do to get across the rest of my feelings about this piece of music. It stayed this way till I found the images shown in my influences and I got the idea to have a cat looking up at the stars before flying off into them to become a star itself.

 I wanted to show that the cat was not alive so I did only the outline and did not fill him in with colour or make him particularly ghostly. Just an outline that flies off and out of sight, then twinkling like the rest of the stars in the night sky.

I cut the section of music from the song that I wanted to use using an online service which allowed me to fade in and out from the piece. The reason I did not use the sound booth for this was because unfortunately, I was suffering from ill health.
