Rodrigo Blaas

This short Pixar animation by Rodrigo Blaas is one which I found so incising, mainly because of its effective use of audio. The animation begins on a rather pleasant note and the music is quite cheery, but as the story develops and becomes darker the music and other surrounding audio move with it perfectly. For example, there are moments where there is no audio to be heard, which created suspense and uncertainty. The music often dips in and out and is quite high-pitched at times, which made me feel more on edge than usual, so I definitely think this is a great example of how the use of audio can completely transform an animation if used effectively.
