I’m currently editing a new documentary short, and really enjoying coming up with incidental music bits for it on Garage Band.  For whatever reason, all aversion to preset synth sounds & canned loops goes out the window; all cheese is welcome in the name of getting the mood.  This track, titled “It’s Clog-Making Time!” has been a hit in the early drafts of the video.  Take a listen!

Very happy to be part of Bill Plympton’s Guard Dog Anijam, in progress right now!  70 artists are each tackling a shot from the classic short film, and mine is shot number 3 (still above).  There’s a wide variety of styles, based on the stills that have been emailed around… stop motion, computer animation, and hand-drawn, as well as talent levels — all the way from student to  professional to self-taught. One of my favorites is a shot created in dog food — and there a couple hand-drawn ones that I really like the style of, too.

It’s going to be quite a treat to see — and I’m very curious to see how easy the story will be to follow when the design & media changes every few seconds.   It may be a testament to the power of a good story and layouts that this doesn’t matter.

The “Guard Dog Jammers” have been group-emailing one another with aplomb — (sometimes a little too much aplomb!)  But there’s an enthusiasm for this project that’s really contagious, and some wonderful films mixed in with all our requisite self-promotion.  I’ll be sure to post some favorite videos up here shortly!
