Animation Soundtrack


"Come along, catch a Heffalump
Sit with me on a muddy clump
We'll sing a song of days gone by

Run along now, don't be glum
Get you gone, now, have some fun
Don't be long, for the end is nigh

Don't let moments pass along
And waste before your eyes

March with me and the borogroves
Come with me and the slithy toves
And never ask us why

Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom

We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs

We'll be here when the world slows down
And the sunbeams fade away
Keeping time by a pendulum
As the fabric starts to fray

There's no such thing as time to kill
Nor time to throw away
So, once for the bright sky, twice for the pig sty
Thrice for another day

Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom

We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise to the sound of the birdsongs

Come with me, catch a rare type specimen
Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton
We'll break our fast with friends

Once we're fed, we shall disappear rapidly
Many moons to the west of here and happily
Our journey never ends

Shut your ears when sirens sing
Tie armbands to your feet

Listen up and you won't go wrong again
Float along on a verse-less song and then
Get to where the two ends meet

Come, come, come, come, come along now
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom

We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
And feast with abandon
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs

I found this by accident when I was looking for new music and at first, had heard another one of Cosmo Sheldrakes' song called "Birthday Suit". After listening to it, I decided to check out some of his other songs, and discovered "Come Along". I remembered hearing it a while ago and really liked it but couldn't find it after that so was really excited about finding it again. His music has quite an alternative/indie sound to it, creating a really surreal, daydream-like tone through his quirky lyrics.

Final Major Outcome - 'Come Along' Animation

Evidencing Editing My Animation

When animating, I used the app iMotion Pro on my phone to easily capture and manoeuvre around my character on all of my sets. The pro version of the app allowed me access to more advance techniques, such as changing the frame rate, differing focal point as well as being easy to use.  iMotion Pro Icon Once I had captured all the footage, I used another software on my laptop to edit the animation together. Used iMovie as it is free and already accessible on my laptop. iMovie Software Icon In the editing process, I made sure the cuts between the opening sequence changed in time with the music. This tempo was face pace and tedious, but it was effective when in time and synced.  When animating my final piece, I used gels as well as set up studio lights. In post production, in iMovie, I manipulated the colour features from a mix of green and purple to blue overlay, to bl...
