The Projection Booth
This is a 14 min or less (or more) original story and soundtrack. It is my aim to produce it in a completely digital context, if that is even possible. I say that because even with all of the digital tools available it will be somewhat of a feat to entirely eliminate the analog processes. Consider how many brilliant digital productions originated as scribbles on a napkin. I know; there is most likely an app for that now but I doubt the convenience and over all utility of the napkin will be completely eliminated by digital applications. The debate of digital and analog audio visual is discussed by far more experienced eyes, ears and minds than my own yet it is my objective to become as accomplished as possible in that arena. No matter how many expanded compositional avenues are propagated by digitizing my guitar tracks, it still seems the most fluid and emotionally rewarding paths are discovered when I pick up the old acoustic and just fiddle around. The point is there are obvious advantages and short comings inherent to both digital and analog techniques; the idea is to utilize the very best of each to create a more than worthwhile final production.
The Exclusive World Premiere Presentation
of
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
Duckies and Bunnies
Semi-pro Buffalo Show
The story that somewhat conclusively addresses the time honored debate
'What came first
the bunnie or the egg?'
or
'..if I play my guitar in cyberspace
and there is no one around
does it make a sound?'
- The good little bunnie and the luckie duckie with a special guest star appearance of Oscar the semi-pro buffalo are engaged in an adventure of mammoth proportions (no there are not any elephants or even prehistoric beasts in this story, just an adventure of mammoth proportions)
- Be dazzled in the Enchanted Forest of Tatercoucheiurs, tatterdemalion home of the cute little Tatertottettes and all the young Spudmuffins.
- Be amazed, and somewhat in awe of the Brainstorm Foundry as it churns out the colorful bits and bytes of random musings simply referred to as the Fleeting Insight Eggs or Eggs of Fleeting Insight.
- Thrill to the chase with the Runaway Thought Train across the Great Valley of Desperate Despair into the Footnote Foothills then over First and Second Verse Bridge spanning the Canyon of Lost Interest pushing, struggling with the tenacious resolve that is the very fabric of a can-do yet humble existence, ever onward and upward to the very pinnacle of All Wisdoms Peak which is more often than not; shrouded in the ghostly Clouds of Doubt.
- Revel as the salt laden breeze whispers a flush across your cheeks high atop All Decisions Dam as you gaze out over the Grand Sea of Every Mystery with the Superfluous Surf of Jeopardy relentlessly pounding the volcanous dark, dark grey rocks and golden sand of Tranquillities Equity Beach.
- The story really takes off with the discovery of All Seasons Spring that feeds the babbling little brook known as the Stream of Consciousness over the Great Pit Falls into the Rabid Rapids of Discontent only to become a minor tributary enveloped with equivocal entente into the massive Mighty Missttermsserendippitty River that constantly divides east from west and quite possibly the best from the rest.
The conclusion to all this confusion is the complexly simple statement,
"....dreams seldom if ever, just come true
you gotta' do what you do
until they catch up with you"
As production continues on this animated saga of incredomagnatious proportions; working clips and movie segments will be offered here for your platform specific downloading delight (popcorn and sodas not included).
Working scripts, soundtrack, story boards, posters, lobby cards, etc., to this and several other original Toons (and Tunes) are coming soon...
It is my intent to present this film- story in chapterialized segments much like the serials at the motion picture houses from 1912 or so into the mid 50's (or so). You know, the good ol' days when the price of admission to a feature presentation included a short cartoon or two, maybe a newsreel, and the soap opera like cliffhangers of the ongoing adventures of Flash Gordon, Buck Rodgers, The Lone Ranger, G-Men, and others *, and you did not have to take out a second mortgage to afford popcorn and soda's.
