. Carlos Baena, a 15 year animation veteran explains how music could be incorporated into your animation and how it could make it better. Animation and music could and will go hand in hand as they both use a type of movement to over the subject matter along. There are beats and tempos and there is a character or personality in both. Music based animations are not a new thing, examples being Fantasia, Fantasia 2000 or even The Jungle Book use music to use and to incorporate into a story or the movement of a character.
When working with a soundtrack, timing is always your best friend as the use of comedic or emotional timing is needed to be kept in mind to keep the viewer watching.
Keep in mind as well that the human body could be represented as different musical instruments to extenuate the movement or the actual instrument playing itself.

. I really like this article as music does play an important factor for animation/film in general as it makes a mood or adds emotion to the piece.
Using examples of Bugs Bunny was a great way also to show example of what it means to use music although, another good example would have been "The Cat Concerto" from Tom and Jerry
I liked your mention of characterization music in film. It seemed like a nice touch :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, we have a Tom and Jerry fan denying the fact that Cat Concerto wasn't used like Baton Bugs. Shots fired! This comment section going to be a tsunami of fanboys arguing over Tom and Jerry and Loony Toons. This is going to be more crazy than Goku VS Superman! XD
