Norman McLaren, CC, CQ (11 April 1914 – 27 January 1987) was a Scottish-born British/Canadian animator, director and producer known for his work for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).〔Rosenthal, Alan. ''The new documentary in action: a casebook in film making''. University of California Press, 1972. 267-8. Print.〕 He was a pioneer in a number of areas of animation and filmmaking, including hand-drawn animation, drawn-on-film animation, visual music, abstract film, pixilation and graphical sound. His awards included an Oscar for the Best Documentary in 1952 for ''Neighbours'', a Silver Bear for best short documentary at the 1956 Berlin International Film Festival ''Rythmetic'' and a 1969 BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film for ''Pas de deux''. ==Early life== McLaren was born in Stirling, Scotland and studied set design at the Glasgow School of Art.〔 His early experiments with film and animation included actually scratching and painting the film stock itself, as he did not have ready access to a camera. His earliest extant film, ''Seven Till Five'' (1933), a "day in the life of an art school" was influenced by Eisenstein and displays a strongly formalist attitude. McLaren's next film, ''Camera Makes Whoopee'' (1935), was a more elaborate take on the themes explored in ''Seven Till Five'', inspired by his acquisition of a Ciné-Kodak camera, which enabled him to execute a number of 'trick' shots. McLaren used pixilation effects, superimpositions and animation not only to display the staging of an art school ball, but also to tap into the aesthetic sensations supposedly produced by this event. His two early films won prizes at the Scottish Amateur Film Festival, where fellow Scot and future NFB founder John Grierson was a judge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Norman McLaren」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
