EARLY 3D

Norman McLaren was one of the most significant abstract filmmakers of the British inter-war period. Born in 1914 in Stirling, Scotland, he entered the Glasgow School of Fine Arts in 1932, where he became interested in film and joined the School’s Kine Society. He became a pioneer of 3D film and sound experiments in the 1940s and 50s. In 1953 his film Neighbours was awarded an Oscar for best documentary/short subject. He created Dots by scratching in both the animation and the? soundtrack into each frame of the film by hand.
