Classic film & animation - Len Lye

Here are a few of my favourite animations by Len Lye made for the G.P.O in the 1930's. His style of hand colouring and printing onto the actual film itself is still mimicked (digitaly) in adverts today. Remember these films were made before colour film existed.

TRADE TATTOO (1937)


A COLOUR BOX (1935)


RAINBOW DANCE (1936)
