Sunday Evening Video: Fifteen Years Ago In PopCult

This week we are going to go back and revisit some original videos I produced for PopCult almost exactly fifteen years ago for Sunday Evening Video. Actually, one of these ran two days after this date in 2011, and other two ran one week before that.

The coding has changed and these videos had dropped out of the blog, so I figured I’d restore them and re-present them for a whole new audience since our readership has increased more than twenty-fold since these first appeared.

First up, we have wild performance by The Contemporary Youth Arts Company at The Empty Glass…

Here’s what I originally wrote:

Tuesday night Mark Scarpelli and Dan Kehde took the orchestra from “Jack The Ripper,” along with members of the cast, to The Empty Glass for an unusual and spectacular night of sophisticated and complex music.  Here’s a selection from the night the string quartet played the Glass. You have three more chances to see the show, tonight and Friday and Saturday nights at 8 PM at The WVSU Capitol Center Theater. Don’t miss the show of the year!

Sadly, we have since that time, lost Mark Scarpelli, but Dan Kehde and CYAC are still kicking and have a new play, Tolstoy On the Beach, which you can see next weekend.

The week before that, I ran two somewhat animated videos I’d created. Here’s what I wrote then…

Tonight’s videos are two short art films by your truly.  I had some rare downtime this weekend and cranked out a couple of rather useless little films where I take some music I composed and use it as the background for some pointless zooming around and semi-animation using my digital art. There’s a remote possibility that you might enjoy them. At least they’re short.

And here are the videos…
