Co-Campbell Mike Director also puppeteered. Here he is yanking my arms (not!) Actually, he's about to help a helium balloon achieve lift-off. Sorta what he does. . .
Painting the backdrop for "Neither Here Nor There."
VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE: in the Underground TV Studio. Olga 'n me preparing SAM SIMIAN'S SPACE CAPSULE. (Quackerbox supervises from her bird bath).
This is the shot we set (above).
Me and Mike and Doron (DP) and Cousin Mike (SM) at the dwindling storyboards. There's nothing quite like crossing off the boards once we've gotten the shot!

Dear Craig,
ReplyDeleteGreat Shots of Olga and your fellow staffers at"Flexitoons".
My favorite shots are Olga and Jonny Freeman..smiling from
The Puppet Bridge and you..working on the backdrop and Mr.Campbell
and you..preparing the balloon for lift off.
The shot of Al Semok..standing and looking pensive in The"Forrest 40
Trees"is also memorable.
I hope that you'll be able to share more rare behind the scenes photos
of you,your wife and the staffers of"Flexitoons"in the near future?
Thanks for sharing this rare behind the scenes look,
Mr.KTV.
Craig, these are great shots! Thanks for sharing. Will the finished product be available to the public somehow?

Thanks Susan. FOREST 40 TREES has already been in several film festivals, including Kids First and LA Shorts Fest, as well as at the Prague Puppet Festival. The Hamptoons ran for several years on PLUM-TV. I'll post the trailer for FOREST 40 TREES tomorrow.
