Never dull

Begone Dull Care (1949)

Directed by Normal McLaren and Evelyn Lambart this short film has music by the Oscar Peterson Trio. We see a sequence of images animated to jazz music.

Much like the other short films of McLaren and Lambart this short does a good job of combining music and abstract animation. The shapes and colours are all scratched or painted by hand and fit well with the music. Beyond the face value of the piece it is harder to see much depth though.
