In the animation, the letters of the word SYMMETRY are animated according to their symmetry. For example, the letter S rotates 180 degrees, the Y reflects vertically, the E reflects horizontally, etc. The storyline of the animation follows a figure who encounters identical figures in positions that would yield each of the different symmetries, starting with reflection and then rotation. The musical pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach (Invention 6 in E major, BWV 777 and Prelude No.13 in F♯ major, BWV 858 from Das Wohltemperierte Klavier I) were chosen as they have pronounced symmetry elements.
