It took a lot of digging to find this film but I'm glad I did. I discovered that it was on my list years ago, most likely because the director Yair Landau produced Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. So, after doing some YouTube digging, the film came up and I watched it. It is around 6 minutes and is the tale of an electric guitar that comes to life and plays while his owner isn't around and how he falls in love with a violin. It's a very cute story and well-made. What I find most intriguing is how sound is utilized. No one talks in the film. All of the dialog and sounds are made by the instruments "vocalizing" with their instruments. It was very creative and practical so I was able to follow the story without actually hearing words. When the guitar "speaks", the strings make a sound that increases or decreases in pitch and the neck flexes to give body language cues. When the mother and father violins "talk", they play dark sounding music to demonstrate authority and express their disapproval with the electric guitar. It's all a ton of fun and I'd recommend it to anyone. Also, the pun of music coming to life in "live music" is well-done for this Night at the Museum¬-esque story.
