Wipes (1980) is this intriguing piece of animation that feels like a time capsule of early computer graphics. It has this raw, experimental vibe that you don’t see much in today’s polished animations. You can almost feel the labor of love from a student project at UCLA. The film is all about flashing shapes and patterns, a sort of visual exploration that plays with pacing and rhythm. It’s not about a narrative or characters; rather, it immerses you in a world of colors and movement. If you appreciate the roots of computer animation, this film captures that spirit. It's distinctive for its simplicity and the way it invites you to interpret what you’re seeing in your own way.
