This Tiny Film needs several things from the community. Below are some notes for each request:

1) VOICE OVER

- The best way to time the reading of yes-you-am's story is to read along with the video (and you'll probably want to conclude the reading before the dissolve into winter.)

- Here is the text: In the end, he just decided to call it an early Christmas decoration.

- I'd imagine the vocal tone to be pretty matter-of-fact. There probably shouldn't be much expression in the reading I'd imagine. It's pretty straight forward as it's essentially a narrator making a statement.

- As always, multiple takes are key when doing readings. Uploading as many takes with as much variety as possible is crucial.

2) MUSIC

- Since the video is quite short, I think the music should be pretty subtle. There is a transformation of seasons, and from light to dark. That's probably the best way to think of how the score should sound and I envision a slight shift in tone during the dissolve into winter.

- The more variety in musical options, the better. Feel free to upload with the music attached to the video (especially if there are certain cues that need to be emphasized.)

3) SOUND F/X

- Sound effects are not necessarily crucial to the piece, but they may add a nice touch.

- I think some birds chirping during the summer section may be nice.

- I think for the winter part that some soft breeze rolling in as the snow begins to fall may also be a nice subtle touch.

*ADDITIONAL NOTES*

- I can always adjust the timing and play around with the animation further. This is pretty much a rough draft visual-wise.

- My biggest concern at the moment is that the kite stands out enough to the viewer. Surely the narrator will help alert the viewer to it but I do want to be sure the eye notices it rather quickly when the animation sequence first begins. 

- If anyone has any suggestions for additions, alterations, etc. then please leave a remark.

THANKS!
