Title

Ripples title card.

Ripples is a one minute film created by Jim Henson for "Expo67" in Montreal, Canada in 1967.

In this dialogue-free short, an architect (played by Jon Stone) toys restlessly with a lump of sugar in his coffee. The ripples dissolve to ripples of water, as the man droppes pebbles. Over a soundtrack by Raymond Scott, utilizing aound effects and creating a stream-of consciousness effect, images of the man's life, family, great archtecture, and religious symbolism flit by.

A similar approach to both sound and visuals was used in Wheels That Go.
