Things You See

Last night I went to Hine Mizushima's opening at Gallery Hanahou in the Cable Building. It's actually a group show, four craftsy felt artists.


Hine did an updated version of "Why Does The Sun Shine?" for They Might Be Giants Here Comes Science DVD.




We did a version for Ka-Blam! a million years ago.

What I didn't know going in is that the gallery is affiliated with CWC-International, the terrific artist agency.  It's been a long time since I've seen Koko, the director (or whatever her title is) -since we did the Parco/Blythe project for Japan, probably -so it was great to make the reconnection.

I really prefer your version done for KA-BLAM. It captures the energy of the song.

The soundtrack is better for KA-BLAM, and that goes a long way.

We also worked with Jesse Gordon on the live action who's a brilliant guy and Maciek Albrecht did the sets and characters. Our film had unfair advantage.

Oh, and the Nickelodeon budget was at least 10 times greater.

And considering that was a shoestring affair, I can only imagine the "Here Comes Science" DVD was barer than barefoot.
