Cars Music-Comic: Still haven't found what I am looking for...

 

Cars: 30 second Music-Comic thing. Still haven't found what I am looking for. More a comic, music, sound effect "vibe" in this.

Trying to just throw out "interesting" (for me to do at least) music-comic things hoping to come up with a THATS IT! format.

For weeks now have been mucking around with melodic techno drums and bass combined with heavy/metal guitar and synths. Trying to make ”my music style" for these things. Haven't found IT, but think some bits of those I have made so far and interesting.

Saw latest Mad Max and re-watched parts of Furry Road, and that V8 engine sound is awesome, and the major reason that engine sound is featured here. Has emotional impact to a lot of people.

I have done a lot of illustrations of V8 cars and know there is an attraction to that very raw, very American Muscle Car sound. Supercharging it just triples the fun. The 2 cars in the music-comic are part of the design of an Australian car club t-shirt I have done, and just noticed I don't have it as a sample on our website. Done in the Ed Roth style, like the book illustration above, but featuring 2 classic Australian Muscle Cars, a Ford and a Holden.

Doing full animation just takes too long. Moving a few still images around is fast though, so what we do here. The timing of word balloons is just never right when put in a video like this, but this one has a fair compromise. They look better when visuals have a connection to the music/soundtrack, but the only thing that does here is the CARS text being animated to the engine sfx, cause that is easy/fast
