Harris and the Mare

This is a radio play from an early 80's CBC radio program called Nightfall. They take Newfoundland song writer Stan Rogers' song and craft a radio drama from it. I enjoy Nightfall, but the initial few minutes of this piece made me roll my eyes. Big time. However, by the end of the play I was completely hooked. Not your usual bizarre fair, which was the staple of Nightfall. It tended to be horror suspense type stories. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Labours of Leraje on Channel Frederator

I subscribed to the Channel Frederator video podcast back in its beginnings, and back when I was just starting to play around with animation. I'd watch these cartoons for tips on animating hoping one day I could be good enough to get one of my films on the podcast. Now it's 2007 and my latest short cartoon has made it to frederator.



Hope they weren't lowering their standards. Very cool. And to think it started out as a walk test for a four legged creature that just grew. You can see the 2 day one shot test that inspired the other 3 shots in the film a few bloggs ago.
