Animie is a collaborative artwork by composer James Croson and filmmaker Dan Ganoung.  The images originate
 in traditional camera animation which is then edited in video.  Various techniques explore a strobing effect which is
dependent on the persistence of vision, and project vivid colors and abstract shapes which are really "mixed" in the
viewers' visual perception system.  The music is computer generated: the sounds, gestures, and form are melded to
the visual images.
