Herbie
Directed by George Lucas, Paul Golding
An abstract visual meditation on urban light and motion, rendered in black and white and synchronized to jazz, that prioritizes sensory experience over narrative meaning.
Herbie is a short 16mm black and white film by George Lucas and Paul Golding made in 1966 as part of their USC film school course. It is an abstract film with no story and no actors, that graphically depicts the reflections of moving light streaks and light flashes from traffic at night. It is set to a piece of jazz music by Herbie Hancock, whose first name was used for the title.
