Repetition and Rhythm in Animation- Bla Bla Bla

This is an animation for the music video Bla Bla Bla by Gigi D'Agostino--Its a relatively simple animation but it demonstrates well, how sound/music enhances an animation (or maybe the other way around). The animation wouldn't be that great without the music. Another thing to point out is the video's heavy use of repetition--we're only seeing about 2-4 animated elements or characters but the creator still delivers a linear storyline with a beginning, middle, and end.



Here's another animation by the same artist using the similar characters and style as "Bla Bla Bla" but it uses color. The song is kind of annoying--but same effect: The Riddle
