Throwing shapes

Allegretto (1936)

Directed by Oskar Fischinger this is an animated short film set to music by Ralph Rainger. Shapes and colours swirl in time with music.

The images compliment the sounds here very well but it's hard to say that there is anything more to this short film than that. Given that this is a hand made animation it is an impressive achievement and certainly a diverting watch for a few minutes. While this is enjoyable modern technology has rendered it a little unremarkable.
