Hello there! I'm a creative media student majoring in animation and visual effects, and I'm currently researching on the challenges of sound design faced by independent animation studios. I am conducting this questionnaire in hopes of obtaining opinions and perspectives from the general public on the relationship between sound and animation, how it affects thoughts and emotions, and whether it is essential for independent animation studios to focus equally as much on sound in their productions as to the visuals. Thank you for taking your time to fill this questionnaire, your honest and sincere opinions and answers would be much appreciated and valuable towards the results of this research!
