This project explores the relationship between music and image making, in the animation Making Music Move the song is not only illustrated but animates visually the music itself, creating a coherent, unified visual and audio experience for the audience. Using abstract forms, it synchronises the beat and rhythm of this piece of music with drawing and cut out shapes. The selected music is a boogie-woogie track; Beat me Daddy, Eight to the Bar, a syncopated piano piece recorded in 1940. The emphasise is the importance of movement within the genre through transferring the impulsive and spontaneous motion of what would usually be materialised through dancing into abstract forms.
The collaged pieces are reference to stills within the animation, although static, manage to continue this communication of music through image.
