Paint on film

Fiddle-de-dee (1947)

Directed by Norman McLaren this animated film features the song “Mocking Bird” played on a fiddle. Painted shapes dance and twist to music.

Painting directly onto film gives this movie an unique look and it does a really good job of visualising the music that accompanies it. While there is no narrative or attempt to add depth it is an interesting watch. You have to admire the skill that has created this animation frame by frame if nothing else.


3/5
