[Notes on a Triangle] (Viewer #40,551)
In this short animation film the triangle achieves the distinction of principal dancer in a geometric ballet. The triangle is shown splitting into some three hundred transformations, dividing and sub-dividing with grace and symmetry to the music of a waltz. The film’s artist and animator is René Jodoin, whose credits include Dance Squared and several collaborations with Norman McLaren. Film without words.
Directed by René Jodoin – 1966
Dr. Zhivago’s “Lara’s Theme” (“Somewhere My Love”) totally ripped off this waltz.
Obama and Minihahaha Warren would tell the director, “You didn’t create that” since the infrastructure of stop-motion photography was provided by others.
Since it was made in Canada, does that mean there’s a version of it in French too?
Also, for a movie about triangles, there were an awful lot of rhombuses. And that’s just shapist.
