It's quite rough but it helped me better understand the structure of his head. During production, while I was animating, I kept it within reach for reference, and when I happened to loose track of his structure, volumes and proportions this little fella helped me out quite a lot. </div>

<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(filmmaking)" target="_blank">Foley recording</a> is the art of adding sound effects to the film by creating those sounds, using everyday objects, during a live studio recording.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's Jeroen, creating every squeak, crack and whistle for our film.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Robin brought his parent's antique pendule so we could record the right tone and resonance of an old wooden grandfather clock. In front of that is my old pocketwatch. Long broken but perfectly suitable for these purposes (and no, we didn't smash them). <a href="http://sewie.home.xs4all.nl/_TICKING_AWAY_Blog/BobKommer_02_800x588.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://sewie.home.xs4all.nl/_TICKING_AWAY_Blog/BobKommer_02_800x588.jpg" height="470" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that we created our final soundmix, sculpting a perfect 5.1 surround track for cinema screens as well as a stereomix for smaller festivals and venues. </div>

<br />
The fact is it's been crazy busy in the last stages of production. Finishing up all the visuals, coloring animation, correcting, recoloring, sound FX and foley recording and mixing took it's due toll. But it's 99,9% done! Almost there!<br />
<br />
In June, shortly after my session with the composer <a href="https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Vanbergen" target="_blank">Reinhard Vanbergen</a>, we went to <a href="http://www.dada.be/" target="_blank">Studio Dada</a> in Brussels to record the music with a chamber orchestra complemented with additional percussion. Just the right amount of musical instruments for an intimate story like Ticking Away. It was a nice adventure and a great privilege to have had these tremendously talented professionals performing just for us.<br />

These are the B/W layouts drawings for the animation scenes. Eventually they were colored in by Brun Croes. (I'll post some of those colored BG's later.) A fair portion of these will be included in the 'Making Of' book, btw.<br />
<br />
And please don't forget to donate if you can! Help us finish this thing, we only have 16 days left and that's not a lot.<br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Curious about the rewards we offer for our crowdfunding campaign?<br />
<br />
One of them is the “Making of Ticking Away” hardcover book. An inside
look at what is needed when making an animated film. It will include the
complete storyboard, layout drawings, development sketches and
background paintings. Also included is behind the scenes information
about the development of the film.<br />
The book is one of the rewards you get when you support us for 250 EUR.
We’ll also mention you in the credits. On top of that you get all the
rewards of the lower amounts: the wallpaper, mp3, a signed Ticking Away
DVD, flipbook, a ticket for the Dutch premier and the Best of CinéTé
DVD.<br />
