Watched this in a modular theatre, a couple of days ago. Had to rewatch.
God, this is trippy, but one of the most amazing things ever.

Thumbs up if you think he was high when he created this! lol

@leongeyer well, actually yes, but it always sounds presumptuous and cerebral. This sounds like the result of an inspirational process, and that's what's touching about it...

@jasarm how do you "draw" in a sound note/frequency into film?!!!!

@jasarm he actually painted on the film, not scratched. on his film called blinkity blank, he scratches on 16mm film.

Amazing what people did back in those days.
Norman created the film by scratching in both the animation AND the soundtrack into each frame of the film by hand. Amazing!

its amazing how he actually drew on the film and made these dots and stuff appear. He even drew his own audio track by drawing an audio line onto the film. theres another guy named pierre drouin who used needles to poke film and make a sort of grid picture. i dont think any of his stuff is on youtube, though.
