SHORT AND SUITE

Norman McLaren, Evelyn Lambart · Canada · Experimental / Musical / Animation · 5 min · 37K views

Directed by Evelyn Lambart, Norman McLaren · 1959

Hand-scratched and hand-painted straight onto the film strip, bursts of colour and light dance to the changing moods of a jazz suite by Eldon Rathburn.

A joyful classic of abstract animation from Norman McLaren, painted directly onto film to swinging jazz.

This short animation is a delightful colour cocktail by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart. The various moods in music written for a jazz ensemble by Eldon Rathburn are translated into moving patterns of colour and light.
