You can also watch the movie clip on the site. I think Bass's early motion graphics were sort of abstract paintings that move. And it's clever of him to start slicing up type before Norman Bates even shows up on screen. ;-)

Reminds me aesthetically of Flash 5-style at the beginning of this century. They followed, of course.
