After speaking with Professor Pasquale last class, I decided to take what I currently had music-wise and bring it into Houdini.

I remember him telling me to consider not having all of the particle systems on top of each other, so after considering my options, I had the idea to replicate a band on stage.

The guitar (green) is in the front, the electric bass (purple) is slight behind it, and the two percussions (tabla in blues, drums in orange/red/yellow) are in the back.

By changing the positioning of the particle systems like this, I also had the idea of having the cinematography resemble that of a concert.

Taking this a step further, I have also thought about adding in an audience-type of element, with simple clapping and snapping sounds to create particles for them, so as to not make the scene too plain.

Of course, the audience particles would be much smaller to keep the focus on the "band".
