Motion Painting No. 1
Motion Painting No. 1 (1947) is a short animated film in which film artist Oskar Fischinger put images in motion to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 3, BWV 1048.[1]
The film was created by applying oil paint on acrylic glass. Fischinger filmed each brushstroke over the course of 9 months. In 1997, the film was selected for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[2] The Academy Film Archive preserved Motion Painting No. 1 in 2000, though they do not have distribution rights.[3]
