Music and Animation

"The right music can help your animation flow, and sound effects can give your work a solid feeling that adds to the illusion of life"
Mark Simon
Music, or any form of sound can have a profound impact on an animation. Without it, the animation could be seemingly lifeless and not very interesting to the viewer. This may not always be the case with cartoons such as the Pink Panther however the popularity of these so called 'silent cartoons' has dwindled.
  Utilising music and sound in animation can help it flow and adds to the feeling the animation portrays. It is almost a sense amongst animation designers that you can't have one without the other. Music can have an effect on the body and mind which could be an advantage for those animations which are used to advertise a particular product. If the right music is chosen, then the advert could be remembered for this and the popularity of that product could rise. The background music can have an emotional impact on the viewer (Lee & Lee., 2005)
