Experimental Animation

The film showcases Len Lye's creativity with a two-foot high monkey, designed with bolted, moveable joints and around 50 interchangeable mouths to create the illusion of singing. The animation was brought to life with the help of Lye's wife, Jane, who was filmed performing rumba to capture the desired movements of the character.
