I've noticed the similarities between baroque instrumental music and jazz, especially early jazz, -- like Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Fletcher Henderson, Lionel Hampton. Artie Shaw. Etc. Both depend on the virtuositiny of individuals but only as part of something bigger--not look at me, but...

My involvement, in independent filmmaking is . . . well i guess i don't have any. I'm trying to do some screen writing, and my default thought is, right now, that everything else--that is, the actual work of making a film--is somebody else's job. :) But if or when I want to expand my knowledge...

Probably his red vest too. Indeed, the Swiss they are a funny race. :)

Wanted to change zero replies to at least one. So I asked my friend, a pretty good critic who seems to know just about everything about everything--my robot friend. "Haha yes!" said my friend. "If they won't give you feedback, your tireless robot friend will." Yup, kinda what i was thinking :)

These sora videos are stunning, and seem, to me, to have their own signature vibe--the energy, the splashiness, the quick morphs.

Gather ye rosebuds, my lovesick Celtic friend. And looking at the ambassadors to the Early Music Day (and thanks for the link): with Frauleins Fleischanderl, Oberlinger, Beyer, Pashchenko, and Podger, and . . . Do you need a wing-man? Also, I'm familiar with Jean (Jebus) Rondeau, for his NBS...

Holy crap! Click the Mercedes commercial and watch the Charlie GIF. He's jammin', spot on, with "Upside Down" and the chicken! :)

And speaking of chicken heads, Mercedes Benz, and Diana Ross . . .

Quintette du Hot Club de France (The Quintet of the Hot Club of France), with Stéphane Grappelli, violin, and Django Reinhardt, guitar. This, this morning, made me happy. :)

And i have to pause to notice: dang, that's some fancy formatting--a visual representation of a state, a chain of different shades of thought and memory and feeling, a bit melancholy, trailing off, dimmer and dimmer, into infinity. :)

Honestly, CR, that's enough for me. These excerpts are shared not just for critiques (although I certainly do appreciate any) but also because I hoped someone might enjoy them. As a would-be writer, I know I wouldn't be for everybody, but, to get any pages at all, I have to be able to imagine...

Or no one cares: Do i remember a joke, where somebody was reincarnated as the original Darren on Bewitched? Edit: actually, to say nobody cared is untrue and a bit cruel of me. Original Darren was a big part of the show's success, reportedly battled chronic pain for as long as he could...

Yup. New Jake kills it :)

Cool. Thanks. 'The quality of what you've shown, the voice work and the concept art, is engaging.

This is kind of interesting. Back in the day, i remember, watching TV with friends and family, and every 10 minutes or so, just stoping for, often just staring through, a commercial. Then came TIVO, watching everything on delay, and fast forward through the commercials. Then the streamers. TV...

Good luck. I hope you make it. The voice acting in the clip is strong. And I like the art. It looks like real human-created stuff. But my impression is that it is like a film of a graphic novel. Is this a thing? Maybe, in your campaign, a bit of clarification, here. And i admire, actually...

Bummer about Jake--classic show biz story of betrayal, lol. It's always struck me as odd, that some of the funniest things on the you tube are insurance company commercials. i still get a kick out of this one; (Ke-ah-no, lol) Then there's the surrealism of Emu and Doug. WTF? And...

Unlike years past, I guess I have to see these movies now, after the fact. Somehow I'm a little embarrassed about that, lol.

One more bit from the script about Kothen, that "little princely residential town, often mockingly dubbed 'Cow Cöthen,'" *, about Leopold, prince of Kothen, and about Leopold's musical director, his Kapellemeister, JS Bach, For me, just the act of getting a scene together, in order to post it...

"If ya got it flaunt it." "It" being an overwhelming supply of vulgarity.
