In my previous post on projection, I mentioned having light fill my body toe to neck; with this in mind, I thought about using the sound of wine being poured as the light filled my body. I wanted to distort the sound and slow it down. Here is the original sound effect and underneath is the edited version I created.

Edited:
Even though I liked the outcome of the edited wine pouring effect, I am not entirely sure anymore if it would be best suited to my current ideas. Involving such a slow sound may take energy away from my performance as I am aiming for it to be quite high intensity.
Lara Croft:
I would like to use the beginning of this Lara Croft track alongside a projection of falling dots of light. However, I am concerned that, by using this track, my audience may think that I am attempting to become Lara Croft and that would never be my intention. My intentions are currently to embody certain characteristics of the fictional gaming character but still to be myself.

An alternative track that could be used instead of Lara Croft is Halo 1 Theme Song. Master Chief, the main character of the combat game, Halo, appeared on my initial mind map. He appeared there for his strength and endurance, a gaming character who I admire in those ways. As You can see from the image below, Master Chief appears almost indestructible. Indestructible is how I sometimes feel when powering through workouts. I would like to get the sense of mental strength through to the audience by including either Lara Croft or both Lara and Master Chief.
By using the Halo Theme song while embodying the characteristics of Lara Croft, I could mix together two of my idols so it is not just me becoming Lara Croft.
