sven's work on television!
by sven at 1:48 am
Today and tomorrow you should be able to see some of my work on national TV!
I recently worked at an animation studio (Bent Image Lab) making armatures for puppets -- specifically puppets of Regis Philbin and his producer (?) Gelman. As I understand it, examples of the puppets will be on TV today (Wednesday), and then the actual music video will show on Thursday.
Here's the message I just received. Check it out!
Subject: PREMIERE! Rudolph Music Video
Hey Team Rudolph!
The Regis music video “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is finished and it looks great! Rankin/Bass would be proud. Thank you for helping to make this video a success!
Here’s a list of upcoming air dates:
Puppet Premiere
Wed, Nov. 15th 11:00 am PST (TOMORROW):
Regis and Kelly present their puppets on Live With Regis & Kelly
Music Video Premiere
Thurs, Nov. 16th 11:00 am PST:
Music video airs on Live With Regis & Kelly
You can see the show on channel 8 (KGW) – the local NBC affiliate.

I'm hoping you'll be able to post the clip in some version as we don't keep tv here and I'd love to see it!

Hey Jeffrey -- Regis and Kelley were sitting at their little "we are the hosts" table... The room dimmed and a little spotlight hit the desk, and Regis pulls 'em out one at a time. Very unceremoniously, actually. And then Kelley starts making the pups kiss each other. She was kinda... Disturbing.
And then -- bang! -- on to other things, without a whiff of segue. Regis and Kelly seem, um, like kinda unpleasant people actually. No matter. Tomorrow's the animation itself -- that's what matters.
Truth be told, the pups they showed on air today were duplicates made as trophies for the folks they represent. So they only have wire armatures in them -- not the ball'n'socket goodness. I'm coming to understand that even in a pro company like Bent, machined armatures are a luxury that you don't get to play with on just every production.

Congratulations Sir Svennington! You've made it... you're a pro now! It's awesome, this stopmo renaissance we're seeing lately on TV, most notably in commercials... I'm seeing more all the time.
