Bla Bla, created/directed by Vincent Morisset is a strange creature. It isn't an animation, or a game, but something that subtly uses elements of both. There is no defined narrative, but a series of interactions between the viewer/player and the animation. The actions offered to the viewer/player are limited, but produce a sense of playfulness, interaction and
discovery.
“The youngest kids navigated their way through BLA BLA easily, without any guidance. An adult who doesn’t have a strong grasp of interactivity might find themselves clicking the same spot over and over, missing all kinds of possibilities.” Morisset adds, “There’s an element of culture in all this. Younger people understand the principles of interactivity, and they know what to do.”
Produced for the National Film Board of Canada, Morisset calls the work a "film for computer".
Here is an interview with Morisset.
