Audio

It is hard to find royalty free Audio online. The websites i looked at was just not reliable enough e.g. pop ups, signs ups for spams, etc. So I used Youtube to search for downloadable content. Each of these artists will be credited at the end of the animation.

I download the audio and edit them on Adobe Audition. I have very few knowledge of the program but it is easier for cutting and pasting parts of sound as well as adding little effects such as fades, echo, bass, etc.

For the wolfs growl I used Iwan 'qubodup' Gabovitch audio which is found here;


For the background soundtrack, I broke up parts of this song as I wanted an eerie effect. I used Mattei Cupelli "Dark Tension" soundtrack. This is found here;



For the sound effects such as leaves rustling and more I was signed up to Freemusic.org where people can upload sounds for others to use. I found Carolin Weidner who recorded leaves rustling that can be used for filming. The link to the effect is found here;

I will be looking for a short sword swing sound, running and I asked a friend for one word in the goats character voice, who will also be credited at the end.

characters

I have almost completed my animation. I have added the wolf and just created my goat character. I tried to design a normal goat but the way they run, it did not fit well with the animation. So i decided to create a humanoid goat, with a bit more personality. As the Brothers Grimm stories was set in germany I thought to give the goat traditional old german clothes used for hiking back then.

Goat character


I will animate the front arm and head of the goat as well as the movement from one side to another. After this I will add the trees, then fix the lighting and that would be the animation complete.

I used the original wolf from the last animation. I animated the head and the tail
