Norman McLaren – a true pioneer

Norman McLaren was a Canadian artist, animator and filmmaker who made this musical visualization “Dots” in 1940 and short film “Neighbors” in 1952.
I thought that his visualizations to music were very ahead of the time and reminded me of visualizations made with PD. He made them without using a camera, by directly drawing with pen ink on film. The short film “Neighbors” also won many awards around the world. All his work is very innovative and fun, and there’s many more of his videos on youtube if you want to check out more.
