Flutatious Reel
Animation and Music by Leonard Ellis
In November 2012, a new band played at the first Saturday Brentwood Contra Dance. It featured two flutes and was named Flutatious. Their playing was exuberant! Driving home after the dance, the beginnings of this tune lodged in my head. The next day it was still there, so I sat down at the piano and out came this tune.
A few days later, I received an email announcing the next Abstract Movie Workshop. I thought that maybe I could at least get a new film started so that I would have something to show. So I fired up Flash. I decided to keep things simple. Only one symbol and movement only along four lines. Before I knew it, I had completed, not just a few seconds, but this entire film!
Enjoy!
