Big Buck Bunny was my first project that had video. When is was assigned this project I had to recreate all the music, Foley, sound effects. Before is started to work on this project I watched the original to try and brainstorm ideas and see how could i make this better. Also while i was watching the animation I had a pro tools session opened so i can make markers on where the sound should go and labeled it what type of sound I needed. The good thing about animation is you can fill it up with sounds. From walking in grass to walking to the desert. Even when the animals laugh then start throwing stuff. I had a lot of fun working on this project. The creative side of me exploded. As I worked on Big Buck Bunny I noticed that I had a style to this project that was using musical tones for some of the footsteps and some of the effects. When I noticed that I knew this was going to turn out great. The butterfly for example I used chimes to make the butterfly pop a little; I also panned the sound so when the butterfly hides or goes away so does the sound. All in all the animation was a lot fun. There was a lot of challenges that I had to overcome while working on this project. My biggest challenge was time management. To over come this I had to make a schedule and stick to it.

Balcony Battles: When To Split Upper & Lower Mains?
http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/balcony_battles_when_to_split_upper_lower_mains/
This a article was about how to solve and set up sound for people sitting in the balcony using the main speakers. When running sound for a live sound production is it important to make sure that everyone even people in the balcony seats can hear the band. Running a live sound event you normally have 2 or more set of speakers that you can break into 3 sections the left, center, and right. The article talks about how everyone loves to break the mains into left and right; but up and down not so much. I have never broken the mains up and down before so in curious at what the outcome of this might be?
In this figure you can see a typical main speaker set up. The A figure is the normal distance from the main speakers to the audience. But pus the speaker closer to the audience you have to split the speakers up and down so the listers get a good clear sound.

Dante Media Networking Drives Immersive 3D Audio Experiences at Virginia Tech
http://www.avnetwork.com/latest/0013/dante-media-networking-drives-immersive-3d-audio-experiences-at-virginia-tech/95629
The Institute for creativity, arts,and Technology made a multichannel Dante media networking drive. This has 145 loudspeakers for 3D sound and multi-screens.The dimensions of the cube 50 w x40 L x32H. What I found really interesting is that it's built like a black box theater and used for next generation research. The goal is to achieve a immersive 3D audio experience. The Dante network was able to handle all the requirements for the cube. The school partnered up with Arup to come up with a way to solve this issue and make it cost effective. One way they were able to be cost effective was they installed Yamaha XMV 8280-D amplifiers that drive 8 speakers from one Dante driver and Date-enabled signal processors. This eliminates the need for on shelf products. I'm excited to see how this research turns out and what new things they discover with sound.
