AA3 Weeks 4 & 5 - Foley II

My progress this week has been organizing how I am going to go about getting all the sounds together for this assignment. I have expanded my plan from last week to include music and sound design elements. There is some overlap between foley and sound design. This is because I think the recorded sounds may need some sound design elements to make the overall sound effects better.



This sounds like something. I just don't know what yet.
