UPDATE: Oskar Fischinger Still Dead after Forty Years

Well, today I found out why I had such a tough time finding any of Oskar Fischinger's work online the other day (see below). After uploading a short from 1935 I was promptly sent an email from The Fischinger Trust and Archive asking me to take the clip down.

The video lasted a whole seventeen hours online, and I hope each and every one of the eighteen viewers enjoyed it before I had to pull the plug. If you missed it- well, you should be keeping up on you're Toboggan.

UPDATE: Video removed! (see above)

After recently falling in love with the work of German filmmaker Oskar Fischinger, I scoured the www to find some streaming video, but nothing was there. I was able to upload 'Kompisition in Blau', from 1935, though, and I hope you enjoy it.

Fischinger experimented with animation and color to produce some really beautiful stuff. He also played an instrumental (yet uncredited) role in the blueprint of Disney's classic, 'Fantasia'.

It only took me like five hours to figure out how to get it on youtube- it's worth the watch at four minutes.
