Description

Here in an information film- narrated by Eames- which presents its "message" quietly, sensitively, and at the same time illustrates the message with a wonderful assortment of live action and animation footage that reveals to the fullest Eames' ability as a top graphic designer.

An early attempt to present communications theory, made to encourage the breaking down of barriers of thinking between disciplines and to discourage thinking of communications in a limited way.

Music composed by Elmer Bernstein.
