A short, experimental animation inspired by real-life events involving Nikola Tesla and J.P. Morgan. Useful for classroom discussions, assignments and activities related to filmmaking, imagery, and the intermixing of art and science. Consider all the different animation and film techniques used to create the short. Why do you think they were chosen? Analyze the use of metaphor and symbolism in the film; what do you think they represent and how do these elements interact to convey narrative, ideas, and messages? What do you believe the film is about and what are your own impressions?
