Love on the Wing
Love on the Wing was animated direct-on-to-film by Norman McLaren, a young Scot. When he was 21 he made his first animated film CAMERA MAKES WHOOPEE. Two years later, in 1937, he made several films for the G.P.O. Film Unit, which included LOVE ON THE WING. The G.P.O. Unit was a hot-bed of creativity. In addition to Len Lye and Norman McLaren there were Cavalcanti, Benjamin Britten and W.H. Auden, led by John Grierson. It is no accident therefore that LOVE ON THE WING was drawn direct on to 35mm film.
Love on the Wing is mentioned in the Animator’s newsletter, issue 6, article The Shadows Move Part 3.
