Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I will be recreating the audio in a scene from the Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Specifically, I will be working with the chase scene towards the end of the film, approximately five minute long (see clip for example. Note: I won’t be doing the entire nine-minute scene). As it is now, the scene is filled with running, explosions, gunshots, ambient noise, base beat and soundtrack.

 In my final, I will recreate the ambient/environmental noise and sound effects utilizing multi layering with sounds created in PD and reconstructed using Cecilia, Max/MSP, and Free Sound clips. For the base beat of the scene and the soundtrack, I will not mirror what is in the original film, but create my own bed and beat using Ableton Live. All of these components I will then put in Adobe Audition and place in a surround sound setting.

 The original film clip does have some narration/dialogue in it, which I will not be re-recording. That narration/dialogue track will be lifted from the original and played through the center speaker (C). I anticipate using at least 10 “free sounds” and just as many sounds created through PD files. As stated above, this scene allows for many “moving sounds,” and timing/synchronization with the sounds will be key, as it is rare in the clip for only one person to be in action/producing sound at a time.
