Torie's Final Project: 

This project instructed that we choose two mediums that we have worked with this year.  I decided to choose stop motion animation and sound.  When I started this project I knew that i wanted to work with stop motion animation because that is the medium I enjoyed the most, but I was not sure which idea to work off.  Eventually, I decided to work with my original abstract desk video.  I played off the idea that everything on the desk moves and has a life of its own.  I decided that the desk was an environment of itself and every desk object was a different species.  Throughout the video the different desk objects do mating rituals and pick a mate.  The sounds I created to go along with this video were sounds that are not natural but could be mistaken for natural.  I went in this direction because the desk objects are clearly not natural but they are performing natural actions so I wanted to reflect this idea in my sounds.
