Abstract Experiment in Kodachrome

Runtime

Animation

Synopsis

This stop-motion animation offered Vorkapich an opportunity to demonstrate complex perceptual theories related to the persistence of vision and the phi phenomenon. The movement of objects in front of the camera—somewhat similar to Oskar Fischinger’s abstractions—illustrates various visual sensations playfully executed by Vorkapich.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
