@playsol Dude, this is experimental animation at some of its best--all those images were drawn directly onto the celluloid film, a task that takes endless hours of effort even for seconds of film.

By calling Len Lye's "Colour Box" boring, you clearly have no respect for the art of experimental film and shouldn't bother wasting your time in this section of YouTube. Some of us would rather not deal with your type.

got to love Len Lye. Makes me proud to be a New Zealander

This work inspired Walt Disney to his work on Fantasia :D today I'm happy that he saw it back then :)

The grandaddy of all VJs, video artists and anyone who puts animation to music *bows*

@tehweine Boring by your standards, not our standards!

@TheZFactor2 It should not be the task of the audience to figure how the film was created, it should stand alone as a work of art which I guess could be said to be boring by our standards.
