Back in a

This morning I meant to finish the remake before work. I got done everything I wanted to, and then discovered I'd merely made it to the Fine Tuning Phase. It's all coming back to me now.

My best work is inspired by people named Charles M.

So here's the "remake". Those of you who knew me in 1989 or thereabouts will probably remember the original version of this exercise, as it may have been the most well-received bit I ever did with Amiga FantaVision.

In case you're curious

I put AKOTAS characters in today's movie instead of the fanfiction characters who were in the original version because the AKOTAS site is the one where I'm not running out of room. Also - I admit - much as I love fanfiction, part of the reason I started AKOTAS in the first place was to create a body of work without the baggage others lay onto fanfiction; and in case this stuff takes off I want the same for it.

(Tonight I looked at the VHS that was my "animator's sketchbook" till the Amiga's monitor died. There's almost an hour of material there. Its last entries are dated May 1996 - almost exactly ten years ago.)

First read this entry again.

Lately when alone at home I've been listening to the Big Band and Swing music channel on the digital cable box. Today I heard the Chenille sisters' Nagasaki. Wicky wacky woo is a line in the verse.
