Production notes

A new direction in the art of film animation: using a computer to assist the animator. In this film, the computer of the National Research Council of Canada performed most of the work of animation, registering the hundreds of movements to produce a fluid, evolving effect. Without the computer, each movement or impression would have had to be painstakingly arranged by hand.

Film without words; titles in French.
