House by Carmen d’Avino

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. |

So nice…
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.
Very very nice! :)
Whatta treat :)
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.”
This should be used for he opening titles of Hugh Laurie’s “House”.
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.
