Sound and Music
Check out our resource with details on websites and applications you can use to source royalty-free sound effects and music.
A great way to decide on what music you want to use is to think about what emotion you want to evoke from it.
Andrew Jimenez (Pixar) and Connie He (Pixar) shared their views and expertise on this subject, discussing how speed, cadence, timing and more can evoke different emotions depending on their composition.
See the video here.
"What music made you feel something for the first time? What music do you love? And then start there. I think there's something in you already, that you don't even know you have, that I think you can use for [creating music]."
