DGA140 - Sound Project (Week 1)

We have been tasked with doing the foley and dialogue for an animated short, of which there are 2 we can pick from, and I picked the first one which is an advert for vodafone showing the story of a mayfly who's life expectancy is only one day, and how they live it to the fullest they can.
The video features a mayfly coming out of water in a jungle, and continues flying around and meeting another mayfly and playing tennis with web balls etc. so I need to think of ways to make these sounds using objects that I can record in the foley studio to edit over it. I will also need jungle ATMOS to give the video its atmosphere and background for depth.
Here's a list I've made while watching the video of what sounds I need and some ideas to go with them:

  • Voiceover (script)
  • Jungle ATMOS
  • Music - Flowing Air by Mattia Vlad Morleo
  • MF (mayfly) moving in water
  • Wings and legs popping up
  • MF jumping out of water
  • MF flying
  • MF flying up above the canopies - quieter/echoey ATMOS
  • MF diving back to the ground again - slight noise of body hitting through the air and creating windy noises
  • Monkeys
  • mf swooping left and right
  • sliding down leaf
  • Small river/stream
  • mf lands on leaf floating down river
  • plucking leaf from branch
  • hitting web ball with leaf
  • web ball hits leaf and bounces off, hitting cob web
  • juggling web balls
  • two mayflies flying/dancing through air
  • plucks flower 
  • sunshine shot - deep atmos and layered but kinda quiet?
  • MFs dancing around together inside large echoey cave
  • swarm of mayflies dancing together
  • MFs on romantic branch - cicadias and moonlight, quieter at night
  • wings fluttering as one mf moves closer to the other
  • tails moving/brushing together
