Review of 1938 – “Optical Poem” (Fischinger) by Jadyn Hall

This is a very well made animation sequence, especially because of the music being linked to it. As I was watching the beginning of "Optical Poems," I saw the shapes and forms start to tell a story along with the music.

For example, in the middle of the animation, the circles started to form in a dancing matter. Another example is that the shapes and forms were the instruments. The bigger they got, the slower the music, and smaller they got, the faster the music.

To end, the colors that were chosen were beautiful, and about every 15-20 seconds it would change color schemes, which I thought was mesmerizing and cool. It was very different than the earlier types of animation because it did not have line, but it did have shadows.
