Excellent supporting performance by the chair. #SilentFlickerSunday

A Chairy Tale (1957) #SilentFlickerSunday

A Chairy Tale "took place on one indoor scene such as an empty stage and dark curtains in the background. The animated chair method involved using the traditional string-puppet technique with the exception of attaching the string horizontally off-screen on the right side and on the left side with the help of two animators. The strings were invisible to the camera because they were fine black nylon fishing string." - Wikipedia #SilentFlickerSunday

"A Chairy Tale (French: Il était une chaise) is a 1957 Canadian stop-motion pixilation short film co-directed by Norman McLaren and Claude Jutra for the National Film Board of Canada. Set to the music of Ravi Shankar and Chatur Lal, it humorously portrays Jutra's attempts to sit on an uncooperative chair." - Wikipedia #SilentFlickerSunday

Combine Les Vampires with Man with a Movie Camera and you get a movie about characters
plotting to steal the film they're in. #SilentFlickerSunday

That toothache came and went rather quickly. It even switched to the other side of his face for a moment. #SilentFlickerSunday

@analgesicsleep @dbfulton I've probably eaten cereal that was 108 years old. It tasted rather stale. I should have checked the expiration date. #SilentFlickerSunday
