Durex - Recording Script

In order to be able to begin the illustration development, we decided to next get the script recorded for at least one of the animations. In doing so it allowed for us to be able to start an animatic, to which illustrations could be made and then the final development produced. By having the voice recording first elements can be done step-by-step and added on top of the voice-over rather than the other way around, ensuring a smoother turnaround-time when it comes to the animation itself.

We decided to move forward firstly with the story of a boy in a club. They seem to be the most popular story within the critic session, and therefore we thought it would be the one that would need the most development to be able to be completed to the highest possible standard.

We decided to use an open room with a slight echo and recorded on an Olympus voice recorder. We decided to do this against using a sound base which is soundproof, in order to get the echo in the sound of the recording itself. Due to the tone of voice and the nature of the ‘interview’ setting, we wanted the interview to sound casual and relaxed as if they were simply asked these questions in their own homes. Again, reflecting the style found within the research which initially put us onto the idea of this ad campaign.

which is a boy with a northern accent to be able to offer a more relatable tone to the audience, avoiding solely southern neutral accents meant that people could find the ad more relatable from multiple areas, this is something that we will be taking into consideration with each recording; ensuring that different accents and tones are used. The recording was done a couple of times to ensure the script was set correctly in the correct tone of voice the animation storyboard was gathered.
