House by Carmen d’Avino

November 15, 2009 9:41 am

It’s true, they showed this kind of gorgeous animation on PBS once upon a time. It was made by experimental animator Carmen D’Avino for The Electric Company. More of his films can be seen on the North County Public Radio website.

	That was beautiful and so inspiring. Gorgeous animation does exist in the NEw Electric Company too. Have you ever seen the Music Man? Here’s a link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz5o_b75_GI&feature=channel

	The design is very Mary Blair / it’s a small world… and that’s not a bad thing.

	Great music, too. Can anyone ID the band/musicians?

	Are you implying that PBS programming doesn’t include experimental animation and graphics? You’re either not watching PBS or have your idea of “experimental” frozen in 1958.

	Blackguard, the YouTube video says: “Music composed by Lenny Popkin, with Donald McDonald on drums, Russell George on bass guitar, Elaine Comparone on Rock-Si-Chord (an electronic harpsichord), Linda Comparone on flute, and Lenny Popkin playing vibraphone, bells, piano and sound effects.”

	I remember watching that when I was a kid! PBS had great animation in the 70’s. It all made a big impression on me, I’m sure. That, and the Yellow Submarine shown at least once a year on Channel 3’s (CBS I think) Afternoon Movie.
