Synth Skater (2007):

Run length: 44 seconds.

Summary: A red-suited figure skates through a moderately surrealistic winter landscape accompanied by synth sounds and music.

The making of Synth Skater: The images were generated almost entirely in POVRay (with a little touchup/editing in Corel Photopaint and Paint Shop Pro). I used Animation Shop and Quicktime Professional to combine the images into animations, merge the segments, add transitions, etc. Once I had the (silent) animation file the way I wanted it, I created the soundtrack in Cakewalk Sonar (using the Dreamstation Synth exclusively). I then exported the result as an uncompressed AVI file which I compressed with Quicktime Professional.

Note: The soundtrack is available in ogg and wma formats from the Free Downloads page of GoodChimes.com.
