Raymond Scott - War Dance of the Wodden Indians

Raymond Scott and his original music was the nucleus of many a Carl Stalling score for the Warner Brother Shorts during golden age of the classically animated cinematic short. (Bugs Bunny,Porky and Daffy would never have stretched so ridiculously without it.)
This video is a very surreal piece of history; Forget the white guys tap dancing as American Indians and the height of insult to the true American Indian at the time, it's a product of it's Davey Crockett lovin' time. Watching it now is baffling and funny. It also makes me think Raymond's music was under-rated. There is so much more visual potential to discover/utilize with this frantic polka-like music than the Warner toons could have ever realized or afford to produce at the time.
It remains, for some dedicated animator to hit every beat in Raymond's fantastic soundscape of a repetoire and show the world just what a maestro he was.

Like A Hurricane - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

1976, Hammersmith Odeon, London

No animation on this, but wouldn't the song make a great short?
With a song as poetic as this, there is little else to say.

Puppet Test for BBC's 'On The Air'

These three scenes from BBC Northern Irelands Animated series 'On The Air', were part of an animation test I did to show my skills to director Joel Simon at Flickerpix. Had I not other commitments to attend, Joel would have given me the job. I post them here to give them a new home and as a kind of web folio.
