Download the video located on the right. You will see a nature scene with water, animals, a train traveling through the mountains, and an airplane flying into the sunset. Also included on the right are some sound effects that will be helpful and a list of GarageBand loops that work well with the given video. You are to incorporate sound effects and background music into the video to help it appear more realistic. You can find additional sound effects on-line to add more realism to your project. Remember your audio levels should all sound the same, but that your background music should be low in the background and not overpower your natural sounds.
