Synchromy - by Norman Mclaren 1971

This is a great example of use of rhythm in an animation

Norman Mclaren was a pioneer of experimental animation

and made animations by painting directly on to film, both to

create the image and sound.

This excellent little documentary

explains how Norman Mclaren

could produce his images and

sounds in perfect relation to

one another.

two films perfect to watch at a time like this. Put a chill down

your spine.
