Ah, nothing like remembering your birthday when it's also Hitler's.


I'm burning DVD-R's like crazy (have to pick up a 40-50 pack tomorrow), so I'm 90% certain I can send out the DVD-R with the Animated Art/I Drew Roger Rabbit clips, my classical music collection, and some other stuff like the awnings scene from The Three Ages, a Harry Langdon short, etc. on Friday. I'm going to send you my own discs for my four Vincent Price AIP films (including The Raven), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (you have the 2nd disc of the Vista Series set, right?) and fill up the DVD-R with whatever I can.

Then, once you're done, you can just send the discs back when you send the final Recobbled cut.

You know, just from hearing how exact he would make his storyboards, it wouldn't surprise me if the workprint was really spot-on. I think the editing between Zig-Zag comforting King Nod, the Thief's pole vaulting attemps, and Tack breaking out of his cell (and watching the Thief fail) is brilliant.

On the Maiden...

It's just one more thing that shows how much of a creep Zig-Zag is. It's a pity it wasn't finished, but I love the animation during "A bountiful maiden from... Mom.... bass....ahh....." I only noticed it after showing my presentation group some clips, but the next shot after you see the Maiden's eyelash has King Nod batting his eyelashes with this hilarious expression.

By this time, do I even need to say what their reactions were?
