What it is: Abstract animation

Animation is displayed to pieces by Aaron Copland and Don Gillis.

I’ve just done one short; I might as well do another, only this time I’m returning to the realm of abstract animation. This one is fairly energetic, at least partially because the two musical pieces (both of which sound quite a bit like “Turkey in the Straw”) are lively and fun. As usual with this type of short, I don’t really have much to say about it other than it held my attention for its six-minute running time, and maybe that’s all we can expect from an abstract short.
