Animation as Visual Music

     Music has been used alongside animation for as long as we can remember. Music and Animation are very similar in the way they convey tempo, repetition, feeling, timing and character. Music can be used  alongside animation to create an unparalleled amount of entertainment with the way the sound syncs. Music can also pace a scene to keep it from lasting too long.  Repetition also assists in surprising audience by getting them used to the beat of the animation and changing it.
     A universally entertaining musical technique is to make animated objects instruments! Things like drums for running feet, or a marimba for eyes darting around really give the viewer a sense of the weight and movement of an object. Music as Character Inspiration creates a very fun character, syncing their movement and actions with sound helps add a comedic undertone.
     Music synced with animation is always entertaining! Loony tunes always had music accompany every action of the characters. Music really helps flow the animation and emphasize the movement, especially when music is custom fit to every action.I believe that this is one of the main reasons why it is so entertaining to watch animations with a good score!
