"Brain Divided" 

This short had the music and mixed the emotions in well. The faster music went along with the more chaotic scenes well. The colors the "brain" went along with the character's personalities. Red we usually see as a crazier/mad side, while blue tends to be more calm.

Early Animation

The music in this played very well with each of the animation examples. It was very happy-go-lucky throughout the films which matched the scenes. Some of them were fairly easy to see how they were created, while others were a bit more complex.

Megalomaniac

This is probably the creepiest animation I have ever seen, but I believe that is this particular person's style. The very eerie music along with the skeleton characters really help set the mood. The only bad thing I would have to say is the plot line I found a bit difficult to understand.

Talking Blocks:Command Blocks

This little short was cute and the emotions displayed went well with the scene and the music. The music in the film gets quicker as the scene becomes more intense. The original scene is bright and happy, but once trouble starts it gets darker which increases the anxiety with the red color and faster music.

A Fox Tale

The music played a large part in this short. At first it was elegant and slow, to go with the sly fox/woman, but as the scenes grew more intense, so did the music. It was silent in the more dramatic scenes. When the characters got angry, the scene grew much darker with the thunderstorm. Overall I thought it was a good short film.
