November 24, 2011 : Ninja Tales Intro Audio – First Pass
Moving forward from the Title Card, a first pass for the Intro song to Ninja Tales was cranked out.
[audio:http://www.pivisuals.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/NinjaTalesIntroSong.mp3|titles=Ninja Tales Intro Song]After listening to it (a lot), it’s become apparent that the length of the song needs to be cut. Since each clip for the series is going to be short, it only makes sense the Intro should follow suit. It looks like only the second half of the audio will be used. I enjoy the melodic setup in the first half, but sadly it’s unnecessary.
By the way, the higher pitched instrument used for the melody during the last half is the Koto – a Japanese, stringed instrument – alongside a subtle violin backing. Of course, those instruments weren’t physically used during the recording. Instead, they were created via a MIDI keyboard.
The next step is to create the animation for the Intro. The specifics still have to get worked out; but since it has to be short to accompany the audio, that means it needs to be efficient (yet effective).
