Animation - Post Production

Now that I have all of my scenes rendered, I have to string them all together. To do this I used Windows Movie Maker. Once I uploaded all of the images, I had to make sure I set them 0.03 seconds apart, which ensures that the animation runs at 30 frames per second. It turned out that my animation only runs for about 27 seconds. The problem with this is the 29 - 31 second time constraint I have. Luckily I had planned to have the collision of the x-wing and imperial shuttle in slow motion, which would add on the time I need. If I slow down the distance between the frames, it would be to static. To fix this, I went back onto Maya and exported those few frames as a .AVI file instead. Now the slow motion looks more natural and is a little over 29 seconds which is perfect.

The second software I used was FL studio, which I'm using for the sound and music production of my animation. Originally I had a mix of the Imperial March theme for when the Star Destroyers are in the scene. Following that is the new Star Wars: Rouge One theme, which is a more fast pace and dramatic track form when the x-wing enters. Unfortunately, these would not mix well with one another. Now the whole track consists of the Rouge One theme, however whilst the star destroyers are cruising through, the track has the signature star wars theme playing. Once this was in place, the music fits the animation more, and doesn't feel clunky and thrown together.
To top of the sounds I have a few sound effects added in such as the x-wing fly-by engine hum and a blaster noise for the imperial shuttle.
