Kudos to Mary Ellen Buttes, and all the creative people of that era that went out on a limb to find new visions of the world. They didn't always score but their sure expanded our minds!
This film was directed by Mary Ellen Bute. It was not "co-animated" with Norman McLaren. The people who created the credits at the head of this video (in the 2000s) are attempting to take credit away from this pioneering female director.
Gracias por la aclaración. Por otro lado, desde el Centro (www.centerforvisualmusic.org/) denunciaron otros dos videos que había subido de ella por infringir derechos de autor. La verdad es que pensé, por la fecha de realización de los videos, que eran ya de dominio público. Pero, de cualquier modo, tampoco contribuye a la divulgación del trabajo de esta mujer pionera, como vos la llamás, ni a su reivindicación, esa actitud policíaca vana de retirar dos videos de un canal con 5 (CINCO) suscriptores y 300 visitas máximo. Videos subidos por una fan, en el fin del mundo, y por amor.
Almost every scholarly source has Norman McLaren listed as a co-animator on Spook Sport and Tarantella. Even Dr. Kit Smyth Basquin’s autobiography on Bute has McLaren listed as helping with the animation of the aforementioned films. No one is trying to take credit from Bute by including McLaren’s name on the credits. She would disagree with your assertion. Lastly, McLaren even wrote to his parents about his first meeting with Bute and how she was “intensely” interested in working with him. That said, I think there needs to be some clarification regarding McLaren’s role with Bute. The films were 100% designed by Bute, as she choreographed them in a way a ballet artist would. McLaren’s role was to draw the animation according to Bute’s designs. No one is trying to undermine her role by acknowledging McLaren’s work.
Amazing film. The music seems to be about a second behind the visual. Resynch the image at 2:19 to the accented bass note in the piano, pushing the audio forward by about a second, and it's all much tighter.
Babylon brought me here. Thank You, Damien Chazelle!
