This particular animation I stumbled upon when having a look on Vimeo has given me a good reference for what I want my fire to sound like when my matchsticks are on fire. The sound is very crisp, easily distinguishable as a flame alight, and perfect for having in the background if I want my characters to make noise as well.
This animation also involves a backing track as the fire is lit, and I surprisingly like this addition. I wasn't completely certain whether I wanted to even have a non-diegetic backing track but after seeing this video, I am not opposed to the idea at all.
Like in my previous post I explained I was hesitant in what way I wanted to illustrate my version of fire, because I am in between wanting it to look realistic or slightly like a cartoon. This animation illustrates their fire in a very basic way. But that is because the whole style of the animation is very minimalistic, therefore I am not sure if I would draw mine similarly, but I am keeping it up in the air as an option of influence.
Another aspect about the sound of fire that I never considered was that in this animation, the further away the character is with the fire, the quieter the sound becomes. This is something I am highly willing to consider, as this didn't even cross my mind. But I would like my animation to have dimension to its audio, therefore I am very glad I came across this so that I can incorporate it.
