Despite that this concept design material is intended to recruit an animation team to finish the final product I felt it seemed necessary to edit down the source material from its original time length of 4 minutes and 32 seconds down to something more manageable. Using Nero WaveEditor I removed the second verse, shorted some of the instrumentals in the middle, and took out the ending in favor of a looped chorus that fades out. The song is now much sorter at 2 minutes and 36 seconds.
This helps when allowing me to create a full length animatic under the set time constraints as well as eliminating certain themes and ideas present in the uncut version that limit my creative vision. For example there is a line that I removed about the character of Tom being trapped inside a mall; I wanted him to be inside an office, so with that lyric gone from the audio I am free to do this.
