'Magic Matches' is a short animation and is actually stop motion, but incorporates the audio of matches being lit and extinguished really well. If a stop motion piece can make match stick audio work together really well then hopefully so can 2D animation.
The clips of the actual matches are very short, but considering this is how they actually sound then it compliments the animation really well. The aspect I like about the audio in this video is that the sounds aren't harsh. I know when you light a match, it can be strikingly harsh and not a very nice sound to listen to, so I think going off this I would like my sounds to be more subtle that in real life. I could easily edit this whilst putting my audio together so I wouldn't have to worry about this too much, however I run the risk of the sound being too low, especially if I want to have other non-diegetic music in the background also. I think this would be something I would like to test, however after researching this and loving it's opening title also, it is definitely something to think about.
Also speaking of opening titles, I love the white on black combination, because it sets up this enigma on what the piece is going to be about. It gives nothing away, which I like as I initially after seeing this, did not know a stop motion animation would continue afterwards. Therefore I think this is a clever, little piece.
