Sound Shapes Guy Sherwin 1972 3 mins b/w & colour Optical sound 16 mm hand-painted in 2006, 2 projector version in progress

One of my first 16mm films, made without a camera. It was an experiment in how to visualize rhythm. It equates four simple shapes with four simple sounds, all made by punching shapes into black film or scratching into the film’s optical sound track.
