An Optical Poem (1938) - Classic Short Film

http://filmow.com/an-optical-poem-t90990 A milestone in object animation, Fischinger manipulated hundreds of paper cut-outs hung on invisible wires and shot a frame at a time in close synchronization with Liszt's rhapsody. The dance of shapes resembles a voyage through an imaginary outer space. This is Fischinger's only film commissioned and released by a major American studio. - Bruce Posner An Optical Poem An Optical Poem
