The wheels on the bus - children song

Hi there,

Thanks for coming here! I'm really glad to see you!
How are you? Please give me some news! You can leave comments here or on Facebook, OK?
I hope you're well, and you're gonna be warm during these last winter months.


For the last days, I've been reworking on one of the Frenchy Bunny video:  the popular song "The wheels on the bus"

I have other scenes unfinished but decided it's better to have a short story than a story which remains a project.
So if you want to go in the pool. Just go. It's in the water that we learn swimming.:)
Some very nice people had suggested that I improve the sound, as there were few losses of power.
I truely appreciate all your comments! As long as it's constructing. :) Even if sometimes it can bug me, after a while, it's brewing like tea, and it helps me to go in the right direction. Thanks

I hope this audio track is slightly better. In fact, I found a new way of recording, well, it's just a small trick. And it seems it keeps the sound better at same level.

Wheels on the bus



If you'd like to compare, here is the first version:

Wheels on the bus - original

Now, I see that the first version was very slow, but I liked the sounds with birds. So I will have to work on that again.
Why did I do a WW red bus at first? Well, it was my first vision. When I was a kid, I went to a summer camp, and when we were going sailing, we were going in that mini van.
And we were singing the whole trip. 
Of course, it was not that colorful, but then I saw all the WW bus from surfers, and I thought it would give a fun look.
Yet, I see that for a broad audience, it's probably way too far from what they're expecting and so I tried to adjust to a more normal bus.
Most of the representations of that song are red buses or yellow school bus.

It's not easy to do children illustration. If it's too realistic, it's artificial, and yet it has to look functional.

By the way, it's not in the recording, but if you go on the road,  I say:  "seatbelt, please" , "seatbelt, please", "seatbelt, please"

I hope you're not too cold, while you're reading this. We're gonna reach the coldest month of the year in France. I've heard that there is no cold weather, only bad clothes.:)
So get warm!:)

Please leave your comments, I'd love to hear from you!

Have a great day!
