Pipe Dream 2


This is an amazing piece of animation which represents sound using balls hitting wires, tubes and instruments. I came across this video on youtube, while looking at the first version of this animation but I thought I'd talk about this one instead because it's so much better. The Synchronisation of the sound and the animation is bang on no mistake about that and the timing of the balls hitting the instruments is on point. Being a drummer this amazed me because when the balls are hitting the drums, the drum beat its producing is quite hard to pull off in real life, so the amount of work the animators mush of had to do just so they could make it look like the balls are actually producing the sound is intense.

I also like how they've used the environment because they start off just by showing you one part of the instruments and then panning you across to another part of the instruments, and then zooming out to show you everything playing at the same time. They've also try to make the animation look realistic by making the balls have the easing in/out effect on them when thy hit the drums and other instruments.
