ABOUT

The original 'Geometry of Circles' was designed and animated by Cathryn Aison in the late 1970s, and aired for the first time in its entirety on Episode 1392 of Sesame Street in March, 1980.

It was later split into four parts and appeared on Sesame Street for many years after.

The music was written by Philip Glass.

If you watched Sesame Street as a kid in the 80s, there's a pretty high chance that you haven't thought about this animation since that time, but your brain will definitely remember it.


I used Illustrator and After Effects to recreate the first half of the animation in 4k at 60fps.
While I'm happy with the final result, it does lack the hand-animated charm of the original.
