Soundtrack for the animation

When considering what soundtrack my animation should have I felt as though it should be rather self contained, if only for impacts sake. By this I mean that the sound clip should start and finish within the 11 second time slot and this limited my choice of audio to things such as witty one liners or iconic moments from film, games or television. I decided that I should go with the classic british comedy Blackadder for my sound clip as every other line of dialogue is a witty one liner which gave me a plethora to choose from. My first instinct was to go for Blackadder's quote about a plan as clever as a fox from oxford university, which is the last joke they ever told in the fourth season before its incredibly poignant ending sequence. However for the quip to make sense I would have had to chop it in half and I thought that it would not do the sequence justice. Finally I settled on a rather humorous exchange between General Melchett and Private Baldrick concerning Baldrick's dedication to king and country. The exchange lasts precisely 11 seconds and also has a few milliseconds of laugh track at the end for added effect.
