ABSTRACT

It was beginning from Arnaldo Ginna and Bruno Corr to the Walther Ruttmann, Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling and Oskar Fischinger who were in movie audio era in1920s, they made the accomplishment of early abstract animation, later generation, such as Norman McClaren, John Whitney, and others, were influenced by these works which had a very high artistic value and it has certain significance for today's dynamic graphics, the development of digital animation, etc. The formal features of abstract animation can be divided into two aspects, modeling features and performance features. Modeling features include two features , geometric abstract modeling features experimental features of materials and forms, Performance features include discontinuity, rhythm, repetitive motion and musicality, which are reflected in abstract animation. The first abstract animated film released in the world was Lichtspiel Opus I which was the product of Ruttmann, the product influenced many artists, including Fischinger. Although there were some similar between some of Fischinger's works with Ruttmann's works, there are also many differences between them, which make them different from each other. It is also because of their differences that enrich the expression of abstract animation and promote the development of abstract animation.
