The fade-out of the music helps to ground us in a hopeless world, but the fade-in tells us that WALL-E is a hopeful character who cares about this world
The music also helps endear him to the audience by nostalgizing him. Which also adds more youthfulness to him. Everyone's perspectives on past times are always described as more innocent, having fewer problems, simpler. Of course they were. So many things are done for you during the times when you're a kid. That immediate association with a song from the past connects to that.
Yeah, I didn't realize it until watching this video (especially with the alternate edit they made) but when the music comes back with Wall-E, it really draws your attention to him and you focus a lot more on him than you would if the music never stopped.
The transition from non-diegetic to diegetic sound is fairly common in movies. But, that dying-out echo and the few moments of silence is genius. Really makes us feel alone, just like WALL-E when he enters the frame.
For me wall-e is a “perfect” film. The story and its structure, the characters, designs, storyboards, sound and music etc everything is done perfectly in my opinion
WALL-E is one of those movies that honestly gets better as you get older because then you can truly appreciate the things you missed when you watched it earlier, especially the visual storytelling. Not only do I think this is one of the greatest animated movies (my personal favorite animated movie), I think this is one of the greatest movies period!
The music introduces us to a world so devoid of life, and ironically continues to play. But as we realise just how bad earths situation has become, it fades out ; darkness and humanities errors (climate change, waste) have prevailed over its positives (music, joy). But adventure is ignited and we see that not all is lost when we hear the music return, this time diegetic, originating from a source of life (or robot at least!) full of hope and wonder. Great video essay, and some really good points about how the effect can be put to use!
I remember watching this in the cinema as a child, even then I understood the scene, this is actually awe inspiring years later now that I'm studying filmmaking. These guys are beasts!
This is what many people don't understand about filmmaking, it is not just about shooting and editing footages. It entails much more, like making a simple decision such as fading in/out music to give it "depth and richness."
An excellent picking-apart of this opening sequence, with a focus on the impact of sound. The only thing I think you left out, is that by fading the music back in (complete with some of the reverb we heard as it vanished) implies the source as Wall-E, giving us context for the presence of the otherwise anachronistic soundtrack while also immediately establishing that the little robot has a personality (one which enjoys music!)
I remember when I went to see the movie. I was only about 14 years old and knew a lot less about cinema than I do now and yet I remember walking out of the movie theater thinking: "Wow, what a great movie!" It had the characters, the tone, it was fun and very exciting, and it also treated issues Issues like climate change and our dependence on technology so rightly. Now, years later, every time I see it, it continues to amaze me. For me it is the best Pixar movie. Thanks to StudioBinder for adding one more element to understand and appreciate this movie.
Hey studiobinder I know you re working on UA-cam for more than 4 year and still you didn't get much views and more you deserve more than 10 subscribers and I love your editing ...pls don't leave this channel there are many people who love to watch your videos and pls don't give up
@@StudioBinder yeah ! Indeed your videos influential that can inspire a person to be a director and Will you pls make videos on best director's movies(david fincher, martin scorsese , steven speilberg clint eastwood etc.)as you made for " christopher nolan movies ranked "(agreed with this list thought inception but actually my favorite was memento )and other for videos on best movie On mystery thriller crime thriller drama etc. pls its a request and by this many people will love to see your video
You voice-overs are so rich and crisp, very high quality. And your timing is always on point, as well. Would you please share which microphone and editing tools you use? I'm really into audio.
WALL-E is my favorite animated movie!! I honestly think that it is a pretty much perfect film by every cinematic standard. It's really immaculately rendered!! I highly recommend that any fan of the film listen to Andrew Stanton's commentary on the DVD. It's thoroughly engaging and Mr. Stanton is such a bright and decent person! 👍❤
Hey , @studiobinder team your video are such inspirational, I have made a Short film, but I don't know how can present and submit to any film festival, can you help me out..🙏🙏
The Fallout games use the non-diegetic/diegetic sound design trick in all their intros, too, except for Fallout 4 and 76 as they are abominably poor excuses for games.
@@StudioBinder every bit of Wall-E was approached with care, the writing, the sound design, the world building. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and many people have made video essays on it, including this one because there's just so much attention to detail
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. X

Makes such a big difference!
always great seeing sound design being praised
makes all the difference.
Fading out, "and we won't come home until we've kissed a girl!"
The foreshadowing is real, very well done.
I searched "wall-e beginning" but I couldn't imagine my new favorite UA-camr channel would feature my favorite animation in such a precious way
For me wall-e is a “perfect” film. The story and its structure, the characters, designs, storyboards, sound and music etc everything is done perfectly in my opinion
Walle- e is one of my favourite animated movies
among the best!
It deserves a spot on the long line of Pixar's masterpieces.
Agreed
This is, in my opinion, one of the best movie ever made. I consider it almost perfect in every way. My favourite movie ever ❤
WALL-E is absolutely my favorite animated film!! I also consider it to be a pretty much perfect movie by every cinematic standard!!! ❤❤👏
I was bored during the online lesson until I saw that gorgeous notification came out 😌
Hopefully our lesson is more fun 😂
@@StudioBinder of course it is.
More Useful and more Fun
WALL-E is one of those movies that honestly gets better as you get older because then you can truly appreciate the things you missed when you watched it earlier, especially the visual storytelling.
Not only do I think this is one of the greatest animated movies (my personal favorite animated movie), I think this is one of the greatest movies period!
I think WALL E genuinely has one of the best opening scenes in a film
So glad you cover one of my favorites animated movies! Much love to StudioBinder for producing such amazing content!
Will keep the content coming!
Damn! Now I'll have to watch Wall-E again.
Well worth repeated viewings 👍
@@StudioBinder yay! Can't believe I got a reply from my favourite UA-cam channel.

Great video essay, and some really good points about how the effect can be put to use!
Hope it helps!
Never noticed how Wall-E had such good and simple sound and image editing. Great video
It's all in the details!
I literally lost count, how many times I cried while watching it.....
beautiful film ❤
that soundtrack fade-in fade-out reinforces the notion of reality change.
yup, like a wake-up call
The reason why I really love to watch the videos in this channel because I learn a lot so much, thank you so much for all of the videos
Glad they've been helpful!
Comparing the final film to the script and noting the differences is key here. Thanks for the careful work.
I remember watching this in the cinema as a child, even then I understood the scene, this is actually awe inspiring years later now that I'm studying filmmaking. These guys are beasts!
It's sad that Disney has all but forgotten this film. It was so good.
that sound fadeaway....wowowowow..mind blown
Almost shed a tear
haha enjoy!
I love seeing analysis of animated films in here. It doesn't happen often but it's a nice treat!
Many gems in these films 👌
Thank you so much for this WALL.E is my favourite movie of all time and I always love learning more about it :)
Glad we could help!
Will there be any director's playbooks of some great director like Satyajeet ray, Akira Kurosawa etc. or breaking down of their films
Definitely will have more Director Playbooks in the future

Pls keep on uploading more videos Studio Binder. I would love to know more about filming🎉🎉😊💖
More videos coming!
Awesome :)
Thanks :)
Masterpiece
Superb video
Great to hear!
Can anyone explain this statement "WALL E 's endearing and sympathetic design perfectly balances the post apocalyptic tone"
I interpret that to mean that Wall-E, while rusty & beat up, is nevertheless cute in a way that almost exactly balances the bleakness of the world.
Probably the best animated movie of last 20 years
It's in the running for sure
Beautiful
When ever i get notification frm studio binder.. first i like the video.. second i watch the content .. 🤣🤣
That is the way :)
amazing

Nice
