Courage The Cowardly Dog

Courage The Cowardly Dog is something of an acquired taste. My niece used to love the show. Her mother hated it. A recurring challenge for Cartoon Network. For these promos, writer/producer Stuart Hill imagined a series of funny situations involving real dogs to promoted the show. This spot, which was on my demo for years, always illustrated for me the discipline an editor needs to show from time to time. A zen approach to knowing when NOT to cut.

This is a great example of Stuarts quirky sense of humor. It should be noted that Stuart is a dog lover (had 2 wonderful dogs) but could be quoted after the completion of this campaign saying "I'll never work with animals again."

Silence Is Golden

This is the first of two interstitial pieces that I worked on with writer/producer Stuart Hill.
If you look in the back row of the theater (visually between Blue Falcon and Wonderwoman), you'll see a man with glasses eating popcorn. That's ME!
And of course Larry Morris plays the poor guy that has to suffer through the movie.

This was filmed at Atlanta's Plaza Theater. A funky old theater on Ponce de Leon Ave.
