Synopsis
Begins with a three beat announcement drawn out in time which thereafter serves as a figure to divide the four sections. Each return of this figure is more condensed, and finally used in reverse to conclude the film.
1943 Directed by John Whitney Sr., James Whitney
Begins with a three beat announcement drawn out in time which thereafter serves as a figure to divide the four sections. Each return of this figure is more condensed, and finally used in reverse to conclude the film.
These films still represent the visual equivalent of modernist theories of composition, but the skillful permutations of forms are now carried out by means of openwork patterns allowing the photography of pure light and no longer simply that of the reflection of light on paper. drawing of the traditional 8mm animation of their previous films. The mysterious and sensual incandescence of these neon shapes responds to soundtracks representing the childhood of electronics created by the Whitney brothers directly on the soundtrack with the help of meticulous color grading. Created before the soundtrack was perfected, there was something revolutionary and shocking about these sounds - exotic because of their purity and divided into glissandos and rigorously mathematical pulsating echoes - at the time had something revolutionary and shocking about it.
Would rather this went on for 5 years instead of 5 minutes. Extremely my kinda shit.

Abstract art that is visually and aurally pleasing. Nothing much to say here. The film either speaks to you or it doesn't.
this was very pretty to look at, but i wouldn’t call it extraordinary. surely enjoyable
