Toc Toc Toc

After meeting the Scottish/Canadian animator Norman Mc Laren at a documentary and animation film festival in Cordoba in 1962, Bras experimented with the technique of "direct scratching on film" by synchronising the image with music and noises. In "TOC TOC TOC TOC" Bras recorded on the optical soundtrack of 16mm film the sound of a pencil tapping against a table. Then, seeing the drawing of the optical sound, he invented graphics that he scratched with the pick of an old phonograph on the veiled film.

The Night Before Christmas

A narrator sings the opening stanzas of the classic poem while we see the house at rest. Santa lands on the roof, comes down the chimney, and opens his bag. The toys march out and decorate the tree, with the toy soldiers shooting balls from their cannon, a toy airplane stringing a garland like skywriting, and the toy firemen applying snow. A blimp delivers the star to the top. Meanwhile, Santa fills the stockings. His laughter awakens the children, who sneak out. The toys rush to their places, and Santa escapes up the chimney just in time.
