The post Evelyn Lambart & Norman McLaren – Begone Dull Care AKA A Phantasy in Colors (1950) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This surreal film, shot in pixilation (a kind of stop-motion animation with actors), is about two neighbours who come to barbaric blows over a flower that straddles the property line.

Quote:
The version of the film that was submitted and won the Academy Award was not the complete film. A sequence that showed each man breaking down the house of the other and murdering his wife and baby child was edited out in order to make the film more palatable to American judges. By the time of the Vietnam war public opinion had so changed that Mclaren was asked to reinsert the excised footage, but the original negative had been destroyed. The scene was added using an inferior quality positive print.

The post Norman McLaren – Pas de deux (1968) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

PLOT: This animated short by Norman McLaren features synchronization of image and sound in the truest sense of the word. To make this film, McLaren employed novel optical techniques to compose the piano rhythms of the sound track, which he then moved, in multicolor, onto the picture area of the screen so that, in effect, you see what you hear.
