Something frivolous

This link, which has been bounced around my friends' list the past couple days, is an excellent demonstration of the use of musical scoring in creating the emotional impact of a movie clip. Watch the film loop, of Count Dooku from Star Wars flying a speeder bike, and listen to the music, and, once you feel you understand the emotional impact of the scene, click the little rectangle underneath the film loop to get another piece of music to go with the scene. See how the tone and feeling of the scene changes. There are twelve musical clips in total.
