Here's the soundwalk based on the Harry Potter movies. Me and my project partner Wyatt Zhu thought that by using this soundwalk you can experience the beginning of the journey to Hogwarts, when characters were going to the platform through the wall. The sounds create the atmosphere of magical HP world. Enjoy!
My reflection on the work:
I learned more about Adobe Audition and Unity. I’ve never even heard of Unity before, but I was always curious how the games are developed. So I’m glad that covid-19 altered the direction of video and sound course. Me and Wyatt initially separated our responsibilities: I was responsible for the sounds, and he was responsible for the virtual walk itself. I still worked in Unity just to improve my skills, but after the project was finished, because my laptop couldn’t open this software. It was easy to collaborate with Wyatt, as I had various ideas and he helped me to identify which ones can be implemented. I would definitely watch more tutorials on Unity and use LinkedIn learning to further improve my skills, if there was more time allowed for this project.
Wyatt's reflection on work:
"So basically, a model made in Minecraft is imported in the scene, and with certain collision boxes and airwalls, I kind of create a walkable path for player to explore. The idea in terms of designing the sound walk is rather straight forward. Most of which are triggered when a player goes into the collision area. For example the only carriage a player can get into is the first one of the main train, and when passing by you can hear the voice of Hermione, inside the train which has a picture of the classic moment in the movie through the window."
