BOOGIE-DOODLE

Directed by Norman McLaren · 1941

Abstract shapes and lines drawn directly onto film stock dance in sync with Albert Ammons's boogie-woogie piano.

A pioneer of animation draws straight onto film and makes boogie-woogie piano visible.

An animation film, made without the use of a camera, in which "boogie" played by Albert Ammons and "doodle" drawn by Norman McLaren combine to make a rhythmic, brightly colored film experiment.
