Norm Maclaren meets Peter Max in this series of abstract images that make up this short.

It's a short from the National Film Board of Canada's Hothouse 9 group. Their Hothouse shorts were ways for beginning animators to get actual experience making their own shorts; often referred to as apprenticeship programs, this one, like most, is too short for more than showing off the techniques.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
