Take 5: Allegretto

Again, looking at Oskar Fischinger I found this equally amazing animation Allegretto. The style of the animation is very similar to the previous one that I looked at by Fischinger, yet I feel that it is also very different at the same time. Personally, I feel that this animation is a lot more 'full on' than the previous one, as I feel that there are a lot more shapes visible on the screen for longer periods of time, which accompanies the music very well, as it is very upbeat and quick paced.

I really love the variation of shapes used within this animation and I really like the overall aesthetic of it. I feel that the movement within the animation is great and it keeps up with the pace of the music without looking jumpy. This is something I would like to achieve within my own animations. The fact that the screen sometimes gets filled with shapes and colours and create a visual overload is something else that I really like about this animation, as it really conveys the urgency and the pace of the music. 

Not only that, but I love the range of colours used within this animation and I feel that they compliment the music very well without causing a huge contrast to the sound. The range of scale used for the shapes within this animation is also something that stands out to me, as I'd love to try and create a rage of shapes and scales within my own work.

Overall, this animation has inspired me to think carefully about how size and positioning of the shapes and lines I choose to represent sound, as they can have a significant effect on the way the sound is perceived.
