Week 2: Norman McLaren - Dots

I really enjoyed how simple this short animation was. It consisted of a red background with various green dots moving throughout the screen. It took me a little while to appreciate it because I had to look back and realize that this was made in 1940. The cute and quirky sound effects fit the movement of the dots well, and I liked how as the dots got more complicated, so did the sound effects. I viewed this as some sort of retro poster art come to life. There wasn't really any story, more just an entertaining combination of shapes and sounds.
