Blinkity Blank (1955)
A playful exercise in intermittent animation and spasmodic imagery. Playing with the laws relating to persistence of vision and after-image on the retina of the eye, McLaren engraves pictures on blank film creating vivid, percussive effects.

Norman McLaren again draws straight onto the film with this engaging animation. It is intended to test just how long an image remains with your eye, even though it has since disappeared from the screen. For me, the use of flickering imagery here resembles a lively firework display.
