Synchromie

Court métrage d’animation présentant des jeux de couleurs, de formes et de sons. En guise de musique, Norman McLaren a dessiné des sons synthétiques et il les a photographiés sur la bande sonore en conservant un parallélisme absolu entre le son et l'image. Synchromie est un film de « son animé » dans le vrai sens du terme.

Have film, media, and arts students examine the synchronization of colour, line, movement, and sound. Initiate a variety of projects: in a lesson on synchronicity and rhythm, view film without sound, imagine the sound track, and then after viewing, practise creating rhythmic sound for a series of images; create simple digital flip animations to music; digitally duplicate McLaren's technique; respond through brush and paint while listening only.
