Sound List: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M9R3RaHB1N7AwATRNeIHw7q3W7PsqrMm/view?usp=sharing
I spent some time looking deeper in to the sound effects and making some of my own such as the rolling wood of the trojan horse wheels. It took a little longer to find some background music, but I eventually chose a string instrument, like something played by a bard. String instruments were very popular in the Roman era, with hand held harps (lyre) as well as the lute, a medieval guitar often used by bards. I think it is quiet enough that it doesn't overpower the soft narration, whilst also being past paced enough to keep up with the narration speed. There were a few tests that just didn't match the pace as historical usually means slow and calm.
I made the poster for the press pack on procreate, replicating my rigs on a new software. This turned out very dynamic, which I suppose doesn't set the mood of the animation itself. But with my style of animation and simple actions, there wasn't really anything exciting to incorporate. I considered having a spartan and a trojan fight, but decided that the documentary is based on mythistorical study. The battle between myth and history, Mythos and Lagos, and how they prove and disprove one another. So the best figures would be the man who proved Troy was real, Korfmann, vs the most recognisable face of the myth, Achilles. Though this turned out very clean looking, I didn't replicated the same line texture and weight of the animation, but this turned out for the best as it was an image I could expand fairly large in the press pack website without it blurring.
