"Frank Film" Frank and caroline Mouris

Frank Film is a 1973 animated short film. Co-creator Frank Mouris reads a list of words starting with the letter "f". This sound track is interwoven with the sound of his reading his autobiography. The visual is an animated collage of photos collected from magazines. Frank made the film with Caroline Mouris. The sound track was created by Tony Schwartz.


I like the layering of vocals, you can concisely tune into the two different dialogs. Mouris’s voice becomes musical due to the over-lapping of vocals, the two different rhythms work with each other. the effect of the speed in which images change makes them blend into one another with hypnotic results.
