Norman McLaren - A Phantasy in Colors

[@fried_onions_]

Phantastic film. I admire Norman Mclaren so much, I think he is a creative genius

[@filmsbydanbrowne]

"A Phantasy" is a different film by McLaren... this one is Begone Dull Care, from 1949. Best film about jazz ever made.

[@altonbeckert506]

It never fails to blow me away

[@TexasTom46]

That was one of the most incredible pieces of animation I have ever seen, considering the level of visual abstraction involved, along with the planning this involved

[@michaelyoung8864]

'Beyond Dull Care' from that wonderful pioneering visual artist, Norman McLaren. Way, way ahead of his time ... :)

[@MrOkgrillo]

In my not very humble opinion I would say that this is the best animated short in the history of animation....There!

[@nikid3690]

This is so different, reminds me of how I would picture synaesthesia. Bravo

[@nm18937]

what a poetic way to see the music

[@weksheddweller]

You can't go wrong with avant-garde/experimental film and jazz ;)

[@SamMattacott]

i've never seen this film in such a high quality before. truly very beautiful work.

[@FrancLusaite]

Amazing! Thanks for uploading!

[@NoLucha]

amazing

[@TropicalPetrichor]

I am madly in love with this!!

[@Ignoranteprogresivo]

¡Perfecto y excelente! Es el jazz en colores. Muchas gracias por subirlo.

[@jahnbon]

I cannot thank you enough for this post. Thanks for feeding the collective memory. Cheers!

[@tmrezzek5728]

I enjoyed every exuberant frame of this!

[@orangebetsy]

Love it. At 5:08 he brings in the red one on that chord. Augmented 6 or dominant 7th going to the ii, really beautiful---oh shit, this is who made Neighbors! That's fantastic, especially with the more extreme violence that was censored in the USA. Not at all gratuitous violence.

[@WasteOfTimeTotal]

the best video I've ever seen

[@croiners4166]

How have I not heard of Norman McLaren until now?, my bad!

[@zigzag5627]

Simply brilliant! Thanks so much for posting this.

[@darrenspooner1482]

Handmade VJing! Fabulous!!!

[@rockuboi]

very bonito

[@hannapiatrusha]

OMG this is so brilliant!

[@JeffScher]

Pure joy.

[@FrancLusaite]

Please: If anyone knows how he did the effects at 3:32, please let me know!

[@susankay5192]

Lovely abstract jazzy shapes to accompany this jazz medley! SO elaborate!

[@weksheddweller]

the shape designs remind me of Dave Brubeck's Time Out album art design: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81tHyH2mfuL._SL1500_.jpg

[@LaTachyna]

Esto es lo que ven mis ojos al cerrar

[@Levyfolamour]

Grandiose !

[@CarlosAimeur]

esto es arte!

[@alexramirez2014]

Evelyn Lambart es Co autora junto a Mclaren en esta obra.

[@weksheddweller]

Does anyone know the name of the piece the Oscar Peterson Trio played here?

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Synesthesia animated.

[@FanazSoleymani-yo4rr]

❤

[@froggo7215]

Its like microscopic views

[@5491horacio]

Alguien me puede explicar como hacía este tipo para coordinar tan exactamente el sonido y la imagen??? Los que hicimos cine experimental en Argentina somos insignificantes al lado de este genio.....

[@infundibulun]

Luis Bras en Rosario (contemporáneo de McLaren) hacía algo parecido.

[@iamabloodytrumpet9360]

🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@hirnkoenigin]

How did he do it? Which techniques and material?

[@NiceMongooseProd]

Scratches and paint on film ;)

[@susankennedy5739]

What Mongoose said, plus optical work in the lab superimposing multiple hand-painted footage. Not sure about the middle section. almost looks like stranfs of hair.

[@direbearcoat7551]

Do you people know what you're looking at? It's visualizations. Sort of like WinAmp's Milkdrop. Remember Milkdrop? Only thing is it was done in the 1940's, and it was hand drawn. This man was clearly way the hell ahead of his time!

[@capprijimenez1011]

Direbear Coat i agree this man predicted the future!!

[@archibaldhadock5811]

Esto hace flipar más que una olla de garbanzos un dia de terral.

The grand-daddy of language selection menus?

[@Blancanis]

qué arrecho!

[@dekumarademosater2762]

the len lyes heavily across this

[@jimmyj1969]

I guess that when computer animation was invented, McLaren would have said (just like painter Vasarely did) "I was born too early!"

[@jimmyj1969]

Although he DID work with computers (just like Vasarely) - it's just that they had to do all that extra manual work...

[@PatrickBaele]

no just in time; his abstract animations are way better because there's a tactile very human handwriting in it which nobody has done better ever since

[@Ennah08]

Patrick Baele, I agree! I looked up your channel and subscribed :-) Now you might look at mine, if you like, there's a playlist with my homemade videos with classical music ...

[@himyusernameisveryverylonghehe]

They called Hindi Hindustani

[@mhairimuir535]

Norman McLaren was a fantastic animator, utilising stop motion in ways I have never seen before or since. The title of this piece is actually Begone Dull Care, as is stated in the opening sequence. Please do the animators work justice and name it correctly...please

[@greycatturtle7132]

👍

[@jpbatinic]

Vince?

[@wajobu]

And Oscar Peterson too!

[@brunetty98]

me haces re flashar normando

[@noon8409]

did anyone else think of phan and dill

[@7karlheinz]

Correct title is "Begone Dull Care"

[@jakecreations]

Its real title is "Begone Dull Care"

[@zaszlovjanos]

Русский здесь попахивает машинным переводом.

[@seanormiston5030]

Amazing. But why does it say "slut" among the end credits? Was this whole thing like a creative revenge on an ex?

[@martingius6651]

in the end it says "end" in many different languages, and if i'm not wrong "slut" is swedish for "end"

[@SerAbiotico]

When the coronavirus kicks in.

[@71studiofull]

@zacharymlunsford 1 9 4 9

[@Wolfpound]

Tis is not not " A Fantasy" this is "Begone dul care" de 1948!!! t'es pas cool !!

[@adamwatson2914]

Absolute torture.

[@seanormiston5030]

[@ThePsousa22]

A lot of cocain in that time! xD

[@tomsimpson5317]

Looks like a mess
