500 The first section is a black and white print of an
originally tinted film.
500 In his filmography and discussion of Oskar Fischinger's
work, William Moritz doubts that this film is the true
Study no. 1. The film consists of three fragments found in
a can which Moritz spliced together to create one film
with two sections. Moritz has supplied the second section
with the title Colored staffs. He assumes the letter R in
the title R1 represents the word Regenbogen [rainbow].
500 Running speed of 18 fps is assumed.

520 The title R1 appears enclosed in a circle, setting the
iconic tone for the opening of the film. Earth, orbs, and
globes are intercut with piston-like images (staffs;
Fischinger referred to these as Orgelstäbe, or "organ
pipes"). Continuing in the creation metaphor, images of
fire, a stylized sun, melting wax, and galaxies appear,
quickly cut together. In the second section, the marching
and moving staffs reappear, but tinted.
