Finally.... Here it is:

I had to adjust the timeline again, and I didn't had time to experiment and create an original soundtrack for it, so I simply grabbed some songs on my phones and try them out.


This one is actually Cupid Carries a Gun by Marilyn Manson, it actually really fit the images and matches with my growly voice.


I've decided to call the video, 'Defier of the Conventional', since it's the perspective of the protagonist, to reject what everybody desires in this world.



I'll share the other songs that I've tried with it since I believe it worth sharing, they each create a different atmosphere to the animation.



This one is the piano intro from Seditio by the french groove metal band Eths, I think that it has a sort of classic feel to it and it creates a really exaggerated dramatic atmosphere in sort of a harsh way.



This one is Bernadette by IAMX, and it creates a more emotional atmosphere, softer and it really matches well with the cartoon.


However for both they don't really matches with my voice, since my tone is quite aggressive, and both are melodies which are quite soft.



I've used Shotcut to finalize the video since at this point my toonboom file was over loaded and it was lagging a little bit.


I actually didn't quite enjoy the way you add subtitles in Shotcut but still... it was an experience, and I've also editing the audios to remove the vocal parts before mounting it in the video and finally add a fade out effect and fade in effect where needed, some really simple effects.



As for the final video I was told that it was a bit hard to hear my voice because of the volume of the music and that the subtitles are quite distracting, therefore they should be smaller.
