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.

8 1/2 Shorts: The Trailer

Alright. Here we go, finally. A trailer for the zombie film!



This is actually based on one of the shorts in the film, but it's been shortened and changed. It's pretty much set-up. An for those who don't know about "Hinterland Who's Who" (I've changed the spelling), it was a series of PSA's about our northern wildlife here in Canada. It originally ran in the 70's.

Let me know what you think.

The Wizard of Oz?



My wife teaches high school and every year she gets involved in their plays. Somehow I got dragged into it. My involvement was the video design for the Wizard. It was concieved when the director and I saw a documentary on a video installation artist. He was shooting eyes and a mouth then projecting it on this globby scultures. So this is our interpretation of it. I guess the kids in the art class wanted to put a nose on the Wizard's head, so he got a nose. I think it would've been cooler without the nose, but it was still pretty entertaining to watch.
