von This week I focused a lot on the music so that I can make some progress, as the time for this project is slowly starting to run out. Now I have the theme songs for each character almost done. I just have to edit them and add stuff like effects and extra stuff to make it fuller and tie it all together.
I also made some mood boards for the videos to set the vibe and picked out some fonts I could use for the character trailers. I forgot to mention, each song is based on an existing song that I like and that I thought, would match the character. I just used the chord progression of the song and then made my own melody and added drums etc.
For Aleph, who is a singer from sunkingdom, I chose the ballad song „Golden Hour“.
Ash, who is a fairy and brings luck to others, I thought a cute and girly pop song like „Fancy“ by TWICE would fit.
Scarlet, who is a vampire with a tragic past, I chose a song with classical instruments that is quite dramatic: „Cantarella“.
Ethan is an elf and also an author who can be a bit of a bully but also classy if he wants to, so I chose a song with a jazzy vibe, „Kyousou Requiem“ (Do not look the song up and if you do, just be warned of the lyrics).
Mr. Horse fits an upbeat song that I can add some silly sound effects to, like the opening for „Wotakoi: Love is hard for an otaku“ which is called „Fiction“.
I noticed that I haven’t been adding pictures to the blog, so I will be adding them today.Next week I want to finish as many illustrations as possible so I might make a list of illustrations that I definitely need and prioritise them over the weekend. I am also debating if I should add some singing in the character video for Aleph, because he is a singer as well. For that I would sing the song myself and convert the voice into a male one with a tool I found online. I also asked Chat GPT to write me some lyrics for that.
Here are the mood boards for the character videos:
