Begone Dull Care

This is a quick study inspired by my memory of this short film by Norman McLaren--the NFB-renowned Canadian (yeah!) animator and film director--that I saw in my UVic film studies class.You might remember McLaren best for his exquisite, fluent Muybridge-like "Pas de deux," but I hope you enjoy this snappy little video of animated drawings on film. It's an abstract visual description of jazz--at its finest--by the  legendary Oscar Peterson.
