Al MacInnes is an animator, musician and sound designer, and often synchronises his animation to music/sound. He showcased his work to us today, and shared his thoughts around the parallels between music and animation, the technologies he used, and the importance of designing and testing for the medium of the final output (e.g. how to tell stories over multiple projection areas, what colours to choose that'll look good in light projection work, etc.).
I loved how Al synchronises the key moments of his animations to the beats of music. I find that people often fail to appreciate audio in film and animation, not noticing how much it enhances the experience to a viewer. I admire Al's approach in visualising and highlighting audio through his work.
