Around Perception
196816 min 27 secFilm: Animation, Experimental
Direction: Pierre Hébert
Production: Robert Verrall
An early experiment in employing computers to animate film. The result is a dazzling vibration of geometric forms in vivid colour, an effect achieved by varying the speed at which alternate colours change, so producing optical illusions. In between these screen pyrotechnics there appears a simple line form gyrating in smooth rhythm. Sound effects are created by registering sound shapes directly on the sound track of the film.
