To do the final touches for my animations, I wanted to focus on the sound of each animation.
Week 1 - Test Animations
Bouncing Ball
Sound when the ball impacts the surface
Sound to imply the material of the ball - Squishy/flexible material
Cat
Feet walking on surface
Swish of tail
Confident walk - could be upbeat "on a mission" backing sound
Veronica Walk
Feet walking on surface
Confident/Masculine walk - can also be a "got a job to do" sound
At highest point, she could have clipped her foot on something - making her have a stronger up, but plays it off.
Bird
Flapping of wings
background sounds of birds - as a flock bird
Week 2 - The Love Bird
Additions:
more obvious/prominent panoramic sound - e.g. position of the fountain
Flapping of wings
A melody to give more dynamic movement e.g. -
Week 3 - Pumpkin and the Ghost
Additions:
Leaves crunching with turnaround
Spectral sounds for the ghost
more obvious/prominent panoramic sound - e.g. church bells
possibly remove crows as there is no reference to this in the animation
A spooky/peaceful background melody e.g.
Week 4 - Making the Background come to Life
static from the TV
ambient sound of an apartment
record player could be playing
fire burning
bubble from the goldfish bowl
clock ticking and possibly the chime of a clock
ambient sound of an apartment
An instrumental song like an opening could work to introduce the viewer to this quirky and unique environment, with a similar quirky unique style to complement the world.
Similar to the Bojack Horseman theme -
Week 5 - Etsy Promotion
clicking beforehand e.g. like she's typing away, or looking through the website
tail hitting the table
apartment background sound
a tune when the sale pops up e.g. trumpets like an announcement

"Waking up on a Picnic Blanket" is a song I was recommended and the style is what I want Veronica and George's world to resemble. I hope to use this sort of style in the future, with my next project.
The song "SINY" recommended to influence the sound of the 'Etsy Promotion' animation.
The sound in 'Tuca and Bertie' is also a similar style I want to include within my next project because of its clear influence but also similar style.
