When I was in grade school this film short from 1968 was mandatory viewing. One teacher gave a pop quiz on this film. Anyway, here's a brief glimpse of the world of 1968 before the rise of computers. 

What is this film short about? And what is the pop quiz you got?

Hiya eddstarr, thanks for sharing another great video! I see some similar techniques and vibes to early Sesame Street. I wonder if Saul Bass or anybody else involved with this ever worked there. Or maybe it’s just the flavor of the time. Either way, I love it!

Believe it or not this is a short film about "Creativity", one of the atributes that seperates humans from the other creatures of the earth. Now how do you show creativity on video? A painting, a dance movement, the chorus of a song?  This film short, "Why Man Creates", may not have been the best example to answer that question, however I did find it entertaining - in a retro-60's kinda way!!!
