He is seen at the computer, devising algorithms then punched onto computer cards. The computer reads the computer cards, creating abstract motion graphics on a screen which are filmed on black and white film stock. Whitney then optically prints that film onto color stock. Whitney also discusses the relationship between music--an abstract form of expression--and his method of creating motion graphics. As he discusses his work, examples are seen on the screen. Towards the end of the film, Whitney shows and analyses the process of making his film Permutations. 590 PFA 1608-01-777. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 04 Nov 1992; magenta; splices; Good condition: color magenta; one tape splice at 287 ft. 600 10 Whitney, John,|cSr.,|d1917-1995 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Computer animation.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works|2mim 690 U.S. films 700 1 Whitney, John,|cSr.,|d1917-1995 730 0 Permutations. 935 GLADN50866961 946 PFA 1608-01-777.
