Box set, anyone? The National Film Board of Canada just released an epic set of the films of Norman McLaren, a visionary abstract filmmaker. My friend Kye rented me an old VHS of some of these gorgeous animations back in the Capp Street days. I am so psyched to see the rest of his work. This is a still from Blinkety Blank, where the images were etched and coloured directly onto the film. Amazing. I've also been enjoying a more contemporary animator of sorts, Rafael Rozendaal. Here's my recent favorite. So good.
