    The beginning sounds like a game of Pong gradually going insane.

    It reminded me of the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

    Yep, must have been a grueling task, but McLaren was a genius for such things. The ultimate music video… the music IS the video!

    My comment was a reply to an earlier post, I don’t find this film any boring myself. Stupid Youtube doesn’t always put the replies under the post… A problem that’s getting quite annoying…

    perhaps the excitement is in the technique; this was done without the use of any computers. Just scratching and coloring on film and drawing on the sound track.

    He also created the music by drawing images to be inserted in the sound tract. He ended up with six “synthetic” octaves which he composed this film entirely of.

    no moog, just a simple apparatus to print music on the soundtrack with rectangles. the fil is what you hear except that it has been colorized and multiplied

    4:53 – 5:19 reminded me of the video game ’spy hunter’ for some reason.

    McLaren’s color palette at 5:32-5:53 is amazing! I want to replicate it on a 4′x3′ wall mount, and make the far left brown bar a nice dark piece of walnut wood grain. It would look beautiful.
