 I found music to be really hard to find for my character story as nearly everything i clicked on didn't sound right in any way. 

I eneded up thinking that this song would work really well untill playing it with the scene running and it did not fit at all. specially with the gun shot sound effects that i had placed in it.

After searching through a great deal of music tracks i found that this recording from a fair would best suit my scene and having the gun shots and reloading in it.

After effects

After effects

 In after effects i created the bullet effect with using a image key framing the mask on it and the position that it came in and faded out of the scene. This is the optical flare that was used and i had just changed the colour in photoshop to yellow before importing into after effects.

Video for email notifier

Since blogger doesn't have good uploading or viewing i uploaded it to youtube.

After changing my idea two of three different times I ended up with something that was interesting and had visual and sounds with it. The email notifier cheeks for emails regularly talking information back and forth from the internet through the port to the C# script and to the arduino. When  an email is sent and received in the email “inbox” the script from C# picks up that something new has entered sending that information to the arduino then outputting beeping and flashing led. Once the email had been cheeked the beeping and flashing led would stop. There are other ways that the output can displayed. I would have liked to connect it to a unique glowing object so others don’t understand why it wouldn’t turn on until an email in received and begins to glow until the email has been read. A whole series of these could be created glowing and beeping from different notifications. One linked to twitter, one to an email, one to Facebook, and possibly even to trademe for when you have been out bided in an auction.
