Norman McLaren - Dots (1940)


       I think this is a very interesting animation work. This animation is not like the other normal animations. It doesn’t have character, dialogue, or storyline in this animation. The only thing they have in this animation is dot. It showed various dots in this short animation, different sizes and different shapes. When the dots started to appear on the screen, I tried to catch every dot and follow them. I need to very concentrate and follow those dots.  I think the most amazing thing in this animation is the combination of the dots and the background music. The dots followed the music and showed in different sequence and shapes. I think the tempo is very important in this animation. The dots looked very vivid. These dots just like having their own emotions and soul.
