Tom and Jerry Evaluation

Tom and Jerry is an old cartoon, therefore i went for a older music theme much like the original cartoon is therefore i looked to keep an old school soundtrack behind the film, and use original cartoon sound effects to make it feel in-keeping with the look of the cartoon. I do think my sound effects fit the cartoon well and compliment the movements on the screen. The sound effects i recorded were all the verbal ones which i those to record in chinese off of google translate, because i was trying to keep an original feel to the cartoon I felt like i needed to at least change something. The way i did this was to borrow a Sony sound recording device from the media office and type in the dialog into google translate so it would play out loud the spoken words through the macs speakers. I then used the Sony recorder to record the sounds and imported them into premier pro and put them in my cartoon. For all my other sound effects I went on to Youtube and downloaded a soundtrack of all the sound effects that are used on loony tunes, I took this soundtrack into premier pro and picked it apart for sounds that would match the things going on in my cartoon. I am happy with how my cartoon turned out however the one thing i would change is that i would not have my voices in chinese or recorded off of google translate because i feel this didnt work as well as i planned because the voices were out of sync with the characters, Instead i would record them myself or get someone else to voice my dialog so that they could get it in sync with the cartoons talking.
