Making an audio story from a written story was definitely not what i expected. Since i had the written story already, I thought the project was going to be a piece of cake. Oh boy was I wrong. Actually I think things would've been easier with a written story after the audio story. I mean you might think I'll just search this sound and zap! But actually you don't always get the result you're expecting. That means type in a different keyword until you find what you want. That's time my friends......that's time!
My written story was about the main character (Mike) witnessing an alien and a huge rock falling form the sky. Since the alien looks like a threat, Mike fights him and simply walks away. While walking he falls down a hill until he comes to a stop. He gets up and notices the rock and he touches it. Suddenly, BOOM! The rock exploded. Now Mike is left in pain and agony until he dies. My original story was going to be much more exciting with action scenes and more of that sweet stuff but I had to keep it short so I took some parts out. But I also had to take some things out since it was actually very complicated finding the just right sound effects.
I think overall my audio story isn't that bad. I mean sure it's not a work of art but I'm getting there. Actually, when I first heard this was going to be my next project, I thought it was my time to shine but actually I didn't shine so bright. I think I can pretty much blame it all on not being able to find some sound effects. I needed work on extending some sound clips.
Honestly when people listen to the story, I have a feeling they'll only get half of it and then they'll fell confused. Once again it was due to me not being able to find every sound clip I needed/would've liked. I think for example the part when Mike walks up to the rock and scratches it, when they hear it, people won't know what's happening. That's not good, but overall, I didn't do so bad.
