First up we have the animated “Blinkity Blank” (1955) (https://youtu.be/q3YeWgUgPHM?si=wSlrpMoLq3H25hKH) directed by Scottish-American animator and filmmaker with music composed by Canadian composer, luthier and sound editor Maurice Blackburn. McLaren made “Blinkity Blank” (1955) by engraving directly onto black film leader. The soundtrack even combines with the sounds of McLaren scratching onto the film's optical soundtrack with Blackburn’s compositions
