Norman McLaren made “Blinkity Blank” (1955) by engraving directly onto black film leader. The soundtrack even combines with the sounds of McLaren scratching onto the film's optical soundtrack with Blackburn’s compositions

I just got the 4K UHD DVD of my most favorite film, "32 Short Films About Glenn Gould"!
I waited 30 years for this!!
Literally I can watch this film everyday.
(My VHS almost wore out!)

#criterioncollection #françoisgirard #glenngould #32shortfilmsaboutglenngould #normanmclaren #spheres

the variety of successful ways audio and visuals sync together in this is stunning. even with a computer now 76 (!) years later this would take a ton of hours of work.
