Yesterday I visited the animation studio Wachtenheim-Marianetti who animated those hilarious TV Funhouse cartoons from Saturday Night Live. I was sitting there talking to, well, Wachtenheim and Marianetti when the door opens and in walks a guy I haven’t seen in almost 15 years. It was animator H. Stephen Mead, my teacher at a Pratt College summer course back in 1994.
Seeing Stephen again reminded me about the film I made in his class, so I decided to post it up on my blog. It was all done on regular paper with Sharpie markers on a lightbox that we built out of cardboard. Then it was recorded frame-by-frame with a VHS camcorder. Whew, it’s nice to have Flash in the 21st century, but I still think there’s a charm to it. And you gotta love that Led Zeppelin soundtrack.
PS: Yes the main character is definitely the space cowboy, Jake Rhodes, also known as Space Cowboy.
