For me, this project is by far the most challenging one, and again, the one I prepared for most carefully. I must say that I put more effort into making the music than the visual, and I am relatively more satisfied with the music part as well.

For the music part, I used the Lupin III theme as the theme motive. I would consider my musical pattern as=>

Intro

The main part I(with motive)

The Main part II(with buildup+motive)

Bridge(saxophone solo)

End(with buildup+motive)

For the structure of the music, I was inspired by “Theme from Lupin III 2021”.

I would also like to share some details of my music part: First, I used the classic bossa nova drum pattern in the intro and main part I, which contains an eight-beat hihat, a bottom drum, and a side drum. Secondly, I use the hihat in 8 beats as an instrument throughout the song to serve as a link between different parts (I think it works quite well). Thirdly, I deliberately increased the contrast in each part: in some parts, I used multiple fast-paced percussion and heavy metal guitars (namely, the main part II) to create a passionate atmosphere; I only used the piano for the transition between the endings. I hope to use this sense of contrast to describe Lupin’s ups and downs adventure story.

For my visual part, honestly speaking I didn’t study the transition between the images that carefully. The result of this is that while I did make some interesting graphics, there are times when “too many things are happening at the same time”. So if I have more time, I think this will be the part that I want to improve.
