A lyrical animation based on African dance rhythms

Feet of Song is a short, lyrical animation set to a powerful and evocative African drum beat and guitar. Punctuated by a few bursts of abstraction, the film uses stylized figures based around the animator, Erica Russel's extensive research into African masks, sculpture and body painting.
