Overview
Lye filmed well-known dancer Rupert Doone in black and white, then added colours as the footage was developed and printed. He also added a variety of painted and stencilled patterns. Rainbow Dance is full of striking effects such as figures that leave behind a trail of coloured silhouettes as they move. Tired of naturalism, Lye mixed live action with cartoon symbols, and combined positive and negative footage.
