I believe My sound did complement the visuals at some points during the cartoon, for example the explosion sounds fitted nicely with the Visual and so did the twanging when tom hits the washing line in the back garden and some of the sound did not, for example the characters speaking could of been better and the rocket sound when is was flying through the the drain pipe didn't give a sense of realism.
The sound i recorded was the voices and the footsteps, i recorded these SFX through a Sony Voice Recorder. Unfortunately i was not happy with the out come with the recording equipment as it made the speaking and the footsteps very tinny and managed to pick up the background more than the actors voices. When recording the footstep i used a plastic box to create the sound, i turned the box upside down with out a lid on the help keep the vibration of the sound within the box to give the sound depth but also to let some of the vibrations escape so the sound didn't make the hollowness of the box hearable.
The sound effect i gained from on line where the twanging noises, the explosions, and the fuse burning sound, this is because i was limited on resources to create the twanging sound also i had to get the explosion sounds and the fuses burning sounds from online as it would be a health and safety risk to create my own explosions get close enough to record the sound of them and i did not have a fuse to burn to create that particular sound.
I am happy with the overall result apart from a minor few sounds not fitting to the visual very well but it got the message across to the audience, and the sound made sense with the visual.
If i was to do this assignment again i would use better recording equipment and make sure the actors can be clearly heard and the sound effect would be more advanced sounds then basic.
