Grateful for this awesome write up by @MooreTheatre about @waveformexp

Max Fleischer's trippy version of "Snow White" from 1933 remains a fascinating and bizarre piece of animation history. In this short Betty Boop cartoon, Fleischer and his team condensed and twisted the classic Snow White tale, taking viewers on a surreal journey that defies expectations. One of the standout moments in the cartoon is the inclusion of Cab Calloway, a renowned jazz singer of the time. In the middle of the animated film, Calloway appears and performs the hauntingly beautiful "St. James Infirmary Blues." The scene is a rare live-action segment, originally from another cartoon of the era titled "Minnie the Moocher," which was another iconic song associated with Calloway. Interestingly, the footage and music used in the beginning of "Minnie the Moocher" are clearly the same recording as the song "St. James Infirmary Blues" featured in the Betty Boop cartoon. In a clever editing move, the two pieces of audio are seamlessly joined together, creating a seamless transition between the two cartoons. Calloway's appearance in the cartoon is truly mesmerizing. He begins by singing the tune as Koko the Clown, a character created by Fleischer, and then undergoes a transformation into a ghostly figure. The animation beautifully captures Calloway's distinctive enunciation and signature dance moves, accompanied by a barrage of wild and imaginative visuals. In addition to the captivating animation, the cartoon also incorporates scenes from the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers," in which Cab Calloway once again performs "Minnie the Moocher." This inclusion adds an extra layer of intertextuality, as viewers are introduced to Calloway through this iconic performance. "Betty Boop in Snow White" is a testament to Max Fleischer's creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of animation. The cartoon showcases his unique vision and knack for blending different artistic mediums, resulting in a truly trippy and memorable viewing experience. Directed by Dave Fleischer and animated by Roland C. Crandall, the cartoon exemplifies the Fleischer Studio's distinctive style, characterized by fluid animation, vibrant colors, and a surreal atmosphere. Their innovative techniques and bold storytelling continue to inspire animators and artists to this day. Despite being a departure from the traditional Snow White narrative, Max Fleischer's version remains a remarkable piece of animation history. It stands as a testament to the power of imagination and creativity in bringing beloved stories to life in new and unexpected ways.

ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one... A THREAD 1/38

Tony Hawk as Larry David is still the best Halloween costume

To my friends in Dallas who are asking: I do not know whether our @ABCNetwork affiliate @wfaa cut away from my monologue tonight intentionally or inadvertently but I will find out. In the meantime, here's what you didn't get to see youtube.com/watch?v=OF_GofUF…

@onyro_visuals and I did a little liquid light experiment yesterday here’s a photo 👨‍🍳👩‍🚀🚀🗿 #psychedelic #vj #visuals

Just a couple days ago was 5 years since I made the leap from corporate world to starting my own business, which lead to meeting @gallotia_viz and starting @waveformexp. There’s been many hurdles but am proud of the table we’ve made for ourselves and our friends.

🤠setting up something fun with @OutdoorArts

A permanently installed structure on the sunset strip, @onyro_visuals and I are incredibly excited to have played our part in creating an audio/visual experience that will run each night and each day. With the gang @noxlumina_ @WeareEosMusic @soundpalsays

2022 is shaping up to be a pretty awesome year, and we’re stoked to be working with our close friends to create impactful experiences across the country. Excited to share more of this project with y’all soon! #sunsetspectacular #publicart #immersiveart #projectionmapping #3Dart
