The soundtrack to any animated film is very important. It's the sound effects which really make the film and add the cartoon qualities to it which makes them so unique compared to live action films. Most animations/ cartoons feature sound effects which are often very exaggerated and comical. These sounds could include things like the sound of a car screeching to a halt when a character stops.
When I started to search for suitable sound effects, I discovered that SoundtrackPro does not offer a large range of effects. Parts of my animation required the sound of birds singing. None of the effects on SoundtrackPro were right for this which meant that I had to get this sound from elsewhere. I found a large selection of bird sounds and other comical noises on itunes, which I am able to purchase for a small amount as I have an itunes account. I also searched for CD's with sound effects on, however these are around £7.99 and don't include many tracks that I would find useful.
