Computer Images & Music

In this film, several abstract objects are related to each other, creating a dynamic counterpoint between the different parts. This film has been made by recording the nimations that were produced in real-time by software AV, running on a Macintosh II. Real-time animation has permitted easy editing and immediate modifications before filming, allowing the author to try different solutions and therefore to reach more easily his goal.
