Putting it all together And Tweaking the Animation

Checking to see what works and what doesn't.

I wanted to know which music will fit with the video
Plus we would like to add our company logo into the video.
The Logo

The Animation tweak is that and play with the time and some cars are removed.


3 Type of music. With links.
  1. Police Scanner
  2. Music
  3. Sound Effect
Plus we wanted to put our company logo on the screen. Similar other games and movies. Before the title roles in we would show the company logo. Similar as below. However, we would neglect going into the story and jump straight into the title page.


I put together video.

How I put together the video.
I used a software called Hitfilm to editing the video.
And Youtube Video Downloader to download the Youtube videos.

The Youtube Video Downloader. How it looks. Simple and easy to use.

The more technical side. Hitfilm.

After you add video into the software.
I deleted video and kept the audio of all youtube video downloaded.

To do that, first you need to unlink the video.

The you click on the video track and delete the video.

I did it a few time and got all my video and audio. I used some basic transition effect to make the video more fluid. I cut a video of my previous project so I can add the logo to the video.

After all that I exported the video

By the way it took about 35 minutes to export.


The format of the test footage is such.
  • The company logo
  • A raw improve version of animation [ Less traffic ]
  • The animation with police scanner as audio.
  • The animation with music as audio.
  • The animation with sound effects as audio.
The video is below. Hope you enjoy it. I think I found when I place the logo at the start I failed to remove a few frame from the video I took it from. I could export the video again but it took a long time to export video and the purpose of video is not loss with a few frame added to it.


Looks like the a single background music is simple and effective way to convey the idea of the game. So we should go with a single music for the video.

Horror Narrative

So since I am making a horror game, I need to know what kind of narrative I should right. One of my previous post, I wrote about "What is Horror" which covers many of this. Now I would to dive deeper into this. Certain design choices made before production due to time and resources constraint. First Person Point of View No Dialog One repeatable Level [Check My Previous post for the layout] Its an Horror Game One Ghost / Young Girl Lack of Props  This means, I have to design Narrative through Visual Means, I cannot take the easy way out of dialog and words. I have to show Emotion and Story through Color, Layout, Lighting, Atmosphere and Sound. So before I start, I would like to share the common Problems for the Horror Genre. 3 Reasons Why Today's Horror Films Are Just Not Scary Anymore Usually people who make horror focuses on JUMP SCARES. Well this is not good. As when the scare is done, it feel the viewers with immediate relief which may spoil the hor...

Retuning our expectation of achievement!

I first created this reflection for my team at Coda Payments on 31st December 2021. I hope this brings value to you as you navigate the daily beauties of life.  Reflection post ahead: 2021 was an unprecedented year filled with life-changing events; work for home continues to be a norm, the battle to end Covid prolonged, people found new ways to connect with one another, and so on. As we head towards the new year, it poises us an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past year. As we reflect, we have 2 ways to go about it: Glass half empty or half full. Circling back to earlier in the year, I gave a Lunch & Learn session on "Clues to a more fulfilling work-life", where the core of the message was finding meaning in our work as when one find meaning/purpose, the work(action of doing) becomes more fulfilling, leading to greater satisfaction in life. Now it's time to see the 2nd part of the equation: contentment/achievement. Fulfilment is all about the action, while ach...

Education and Career: How to Go about it?

I was asked by parents to advise their kids on which higher education courses to pursue, which is in line with establishing their career paths. Having faced this very same question about 12 to 14 years ago, I feel I may have something fruitful to offer. Let's take a step back for a moment. At some point in our lives, we all need to make a decision about what we want to do with our lives. We must recognize that this is a huge question and requires deep thought to derive an answer. We should also consider that at 15 to 17 years of age, we don't have all the answers. Frankly speaking, at 28 (turning 29 in a few months), I too am still figuring out life. It's a journey, not the destination. NOW, this presents a challenge. The world and all its weight are expecting us, mere teenagers, to make a life-changing decision when we don't have a clue what the world is like and where we want to be in this world. So, what should we do? Panic? Nah. We take a deep breath and think it th...
