Up and down

Lines: Horizontal (1962)

Directed by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart this is an experimental animated film. Lines move up and down the screen to the music of Edgar Cochran.

Lacking any narrative this is a simple concept of lines moving up and down but it still manages to be fairly interesting. Thanks to the skill of the directors the movement and patters the lines make at least holds the viewers attention. In my opinion the animation is not a perfect match for the music but they do go together well.
