Soundtrack

This screenshot was taken after I imported the soundtrack into imovie. 
This screenshot was taken half way through editing the soundtrack.

There are two soundtracks I have used in the intro to Todd Howard. The first was a dorky tuba combined with a hip hop beat. This represented the clash in school gang cultures. There was the unsmooth brass tuba sound represent the geeks (todd howard). As soon as you get sight of the guy writing the sign a hip hop beat kicks in, representing the other side to school gangs which is the jocks and the stereotypically cooler side. 

The other was a delicate piano sound, this is suppose to make the audience feel a bit of pity for Todd Howard and see him as a little more than a geek.

Cartoon Intro

For each character I had to use this amount  this amount of layers to animate the characters,  and with in the intro 3 characters there was over 50 layers to operate for just about 8 seconds of animation.
This screenshot was taken as I was taken during the character design stages. 

I used to work a lot in flash mx when I was younger and i had an idea to play around with the charecters in flash mx. I decided to do the very start of my movie in a cartoon style and work from then i started to design the charecters in flash mx and I decided to animate it using layers.
