Rainbow Dance

This is one of my favorite experimental animations on film by the New Zealander Len Lye. He's known for his scratched-out-emulsion films but in this one he has a dancer in it that became colors as shapes and more colors were added all around. It was done in 1936 which makes it all that much more impressive than it already is to me.
