Norman Mclaren

Norman Mclaren is an artist I have looked at from the start of my MA course.  His drawing on film technique is what originally inspired me to experiment using this form of animation.

His work is similar to my skin film (and the brain animation on film from self negotiated 1) in that it shares the direct animation technique of drawing on film and our work is both very expressive as a result.  Mclarens work is usually responsive to music where mine is responsive to the body and self, although his films do attempt to form correlations between stimulating the eardrum and stimulating the retina - thus forming a relationship between the film and body.


This can be clearly seen in this short film titled Dots:
