📸 Art Kane, 1958

‘I have no idea how they decided to stand where they did, and with whom, but they did. Slowly they formed themselves into a big group … and I saw they couldn’t have got themselves into a better position’ – Art Kane

TODAY'S FROZEN MOMENT - Today marks the 65th Anniversary of this phenomenal photo - August 12th, 1958 - this now-famous photo was taken… later to be given the title "A Great Day in Harlem" when it was published in Esquire magazine. Art Kane, an art director for the magazine, was finally allowed to do a photo assignment... A jazz lover, Kane said he wanted to assemble the best in jazz for a shot, at 10 in the morning... Most people laughed at him...but...somehow he pulled this off; they showed up...as requested, to 17 East 126th Street...astonishing really... Subsequently, a documentary about the photo added to the magic... as did the allowance of the neighbors, the kids in the front and the folks in the windows… just so special… See below for a list of who's who... of the 57 musicians here, only 2 remain: Sonny Rollins and Benny Golson... but the shot, like all of the music, is eternal…

short true crime observations:

(Credits: @venuscnjunctpluto )

* a lot of female victims have Venus-Pluto or a strong square so pls recognize this energy in your own chart and learn red flags, boundaries and alll that (Emma Walker has Venus square pluto, Gabby Petito had Venus square Neptune, and Tristyn Bailey had Venus conjunct pluto) rest in peace to all of them they didn’t deserve to have their life cut short by monsters❤️!

* paul murdaugh and his brother buster have Aries suns (conjunct in fact) and they had fiery red hair 

*charles manson was a Taurus rising and I notice a lot of male Taurus rising have women in a chokehold. Thinking about the whole team Edward vs team Jacob well both Taylor and rob have Taurus in the 1st. They can very easily put women under a spell.

*also Jodie Arias and Travis Alexander had Venus-pluto double whammy and they repeatedly came back to eachother after mutiple attempts to break it off

*pluto/lilith in the 4th were present in ted bundy and Charles manson’s birth charts. Something in their childhood/ their relationship w their mother triggers them esp since Bundy attacked women who resembled his mother

Salukis and Personalities

I don't know if I've ever mention this before, but I worked as a dog trainer and caretaker for years. Like a really long time. And I have worked with a lot, and I mean a lot, of dogs. Even in fact, three Salukis (Ezra, Bailey, and Leo).

Why do I bring this up? Because we should talk about the personalities of these dogs, especially in relation to a character in Sing, Suki Lane.

Now this is all clearly going to be based on my experiences with these dogs, who could be outliers for all I know. However, after chatting with several Saluki owners as well, I'm pretty sure I got a decent grasp on them. Namely one thing,

Saluki's aren't timid.

They are classic sighthounds, yes, but I wouldn't call most of those dogs timid, with the exception of Whippets. Sighthounds by nature are cautious breeds, it can take a while to build their trust. This can extend into them being shy at times yes, but in my experience, it was more like meeting a new cat for the first time. It doesn't know what to think of you yet so it sits back, watches, and then makes it's judgement.

Why does that sound familiar? Oh yeah!

Because that's what Suki was doing to the troupe throughout the second movie. She didn't make her decision on them until she had been watching them for awhile, deciding to ultimately side with them after deeming them trustworthy.

That's what happened when she saved Buster from the office and when she lowered the stage lift, she was making her judgment of them known. For me, one of the Salukis I worked with, Ezra, did essentially the same thing. He acted indifferent to me for a week or so and then seemingly out of nowhere decided we were cool now and I could play with him. And because Salukis aren't particularly demonstrative typically, that's huge.

So, she wasn't being timid, she was being cautious. Something her type of dogs are known for. She would wait and see how things turn out before picking a side. That makes sense. And no, there wasn't any big apology scene or anything like that because, again, Salukis aren't typically demonstrative.

And while they are cautious, that's not actually what the breed is known for. You know what is?

Being aloof.

And that is a word that perfectly sums up Suki's personality. She's aloof. She isn't particularly warm or friendly and neither are most Saluki's unless they like you, and like you a lot. Which also makes sense with her character! She's a higher up at a major entertainment enterprise. She can't be nice to every single hopeful that shows up at their doors. She has to be realistic for the company's sake. So she's aloof and it fits her perfectly.

Saluki's also are known to be quiet and intelligent. The quietness something that isn't extremely noticeable in Suki's character when Jimmy is in the scene since he's so loud, or Buster because his personality is so big, but it's definitely there. Her answers are brief and straight to the point. And other than those few interactions, she doesn't talk much. She doesn't need to, as she is still perfectly filling her role in the scenes she's in through expressions. She might be a verbally quiet character, but like actual Salukis, her actions speak for her.

And the intelligence? We know this girl is smart. She's in her early to mid twenties and is already one of the right hands of an entertainment empire's CEO. She knows what she's doing. Suki was also able to call the police and betray Jimmy without him ever expecting it, which she had to have planned out for it to go that smoothly.

So in short, Suki and Salukis as a whole, aren't timid. They're cautious. They wait things out. And most notably, they are known to be aloof. A character trait that perfectly sums up Suki's personality that we see. Salukis from my experience act more like the stereotypical cat stuffed into a dog's body. It takes time for them to like you and even if they do, they aren't usually demonstrative of this fact. Which again lines up perfectly with Suki's character, much like the other traits Salukis are known to exhibit.

She's aloof and cautious, showing clear intelligence, but definitely not timid.

Tooning In 15 Greg Bailey part 5 of 10

DL:Yes, please! So let's talk about your crowning achievement, Arthur for PBS and WGBH Boston.So what was the story behind the transition from book to world famous TV show?

GB:In what way do you mean?

DL:As how Arthur became a TV cartoon.

GB:Marc Brown had about 10 books out in the market based on Arthur. The character designs of the characters like Arthur and Binky and Buster were in the books but they looked extremely different in each book and on every page even. Anyway Mark lived in Hingston MA near Boston and Carol Greenwald worked at WGBH Boston. When Carol got the go ahead to produce a new kids show she liked the books and got in touch with Marc Brown. This was the first animated show that was going to be made for PBS so it had no precedent. Once Marc and WGBH had an understanding they had to find an animation company that could produce animation. So they scouted around North America including Canada as far as Toronto and Montreal at least. They had gone to Nelvana because they were a big well known company in Canada. Then they came to Cinar in Montreal. We were a smaller company but we allowed more input from the rights holders on our shows and we had developed a good track record on spinning books into successful animated shows. We were riding high on the success of The Busy World of Richard Scarry. I would say that the series was very true to the look and sensibility of the books even though the work was very painstaking.Anyway I took Marc and Carol on tour through the animation studio when I saw them getting off the elevator looking lost. I gave them a 25 cent tour showing them how we were putting together R, Scarry and Little Lulu and that kind of blew them away because I doubt they really saw such a large and functioning animation company by that time. Marc always claims that I was very nice to them and he liked my attitude. I was not scheduled to direct Arthur when they came in but I was doing Little Lulu and I was the supervisor of all the directors in Cinar at the time. So I was involved with meeting them for the meeting that day. We had another director lined up at the meeting to do the series Arthur. On the other hand Nelvana just kind of brushed them off and said to basically send the money and they would do the show the way they did every other show. I think for both Marc and Carol they felt like that was giving up any control or connection to the series. That was the Nelvana way of operating and I don't think things have really changed in that way since then.I think we just offered a more human touch and approach than the competition so it put them at ease. I mean it was their baby for both Carol and Marc. So it makes a lot of sense looking back.

DL:Yeah Nelvana after Rock and Rule was kinda like DiC during that time either as a outsourcer or rights holder to make animated series off of books, video games, movies,comics, etc like during this time they worked on Little Bear, Gargoyles, The Neverending Story cartoon, The Free Willy cartoon, The Magic School Bus, and a Ace Ventura cartoon. The only original property they made at this time was Stickin Around for YTV and FOX.

GB:Nelvana characters in their shows have possibly forever lacked some kind of personality or soul. Their shows always looked really modern and slick but the characters were very generic and you never felt like you knew them. Like they were not really your friends that you hang out with every day. I would say at least on R Scarry and Arthur that the shows looked like they were made by humans and they had fingerprints on them and the characters had some warmth or personality that you never saw in Nelvana. At best Nelvana had some nasty characters that would insult other characters and they were good at the bad boy characters but they were never anyone you would want to hang out with. They had a very different approach and I am not running them down. I always thought their shows looked so much better than ours technically but after one episode there was no need to watch a second episode. It was not going to be different or go to another level. Stickin’ Around is a good example of what I mean. I loved that show. I thought the technique was brilliant and the show looked great. The crew and director that pulled that off were amazing. The characters were unbearable though. They screamed everything they said so it was completely one emotion. The specific line of dialog could come out of any of the characters because they were the same personality. The emotion in each show was the same- Hyper. If you saw the first show you can be guaranteed the emotional journey on the second show will be exactly the same. If you think of a really great live-action series like Mad Men you can watch that series and watch the emotional roller coaster and twists in the understanding of the characters, develop from show to show and year to year. You don't know what will happen by the end of the episode when you are halfway through each show.

DL: I mean and Nelvana's animation started to get stiff during the 90s, as I think because of budget or was it from Canadian Content law?

GB:The studios in Canada got really big during the 90s and it was hard to find talent because animation artists needed to draw in the period just before Flash style animation. The budgets and the bigger talent pool were fairly adequate and that is why American producers were all coming to Canada to produce the shows in Canada. Nelvana may have been putting more money in the pockets of the producers instead of spending it on the shows. I had a great relationship with Nelson Shinn at Akom and with Hanho when we did R. Scarry and Arthur traditionally in Korea. The overseas work in the best studios made a big difference in the lack of stiffness. Nelson was doing The Simpsons and he was doing Arthur and those shows were really mopping up the competition in America in those days. Nelvana was trying to dump some lame shows in Akom and not paying for the higher level of show. Mostly the show just wasn't very interesting in the first place. Nelson liked The Simpsons and he liked Arthur, and because he was still just a big kid animator running a company like an art studio instead of a factory he would get good results on those shows. If the show wasn't as good he would let you know.

DL:So back to Arthur, so what did you think about the character designs Marc gave you to work off of?

GB:It was the other way around. We had the 10 books he had published. The characters never looked the same from picture to picture so we had to find a good average and establish some guidelines. A character in animation has to turn and exist in 3 dimensions but in illustration it can just be different in the side of the front view for example. so maybe in the front view the nose is higher or he has whites in his eyes and in profile the nose drops down and you don't have white in the eyes just because it looks better. Or maybe he has 5 hairs in 3/4 view and 3 in profile in illustration. But in animation the character turns or moves into the new position so things can't just pop off or on. It gets annoying if you see that a lot. So we would do a design and make a rotation of the character. Things like his glasses had to be drawn with a double line so we could add the brown color. In illustration it might have just been a brown line when the character is small.Anyway, we did the rotations of each main character and then sent them out every week or 2 when we had enough characters done. Marc would ask to change things in one view or another and that meant changing all the views in some cases if he tried doing something like lowering the glasses in side view. For us we couldn't have the glasses suddenly slip down when he turned each time. In animation, we are also looking at the character as a 3D figure so everything has to line up in all views. Marc was really great at doing new characters or guest characters because he was so comfortable with his style that he could whip off a really great rough design of someone like Arthur Garfunkle. We generally limited the characters to a finite number of animals. Cat, dogs, Aardvark, rats, bear, monkey, and rabbits. These were all from Marc's world. There are a few oddball ones that came out of the design department that stuck around like goats, alligators, and moose. We settled on kind of a nervous and broken line work so it looked more naive and hand drawn. A few things got standardized like everyone always has whites in the eyes. Prunella was an example that we left alone and she never had whites in her eyes unless she got shocked.It took a few months just to do the main pack design and in the end they looked kind of Frankensteinish with all the adjustments. I asked one of the really great designers we had to go over the whole main pack and rotations and action poses and expressions and make the drawing all consistent. His name was Anastasio. I haven't seen him since. I think it was a huge job to do in the short time it took him to do it. But we kept using those main packs for most of the years of production. WE got rid of Muffy's buck teeth after season 1 because Marc decided he didn't like them. and we tweaked Arthur a little because his ears and glasses were out of perspective in some views.

(update from Dom, the Anastasio guy who did the model sheets was Stephane Anastasio, who worked on the series from 1996-1997 as a character designer. He hasn’t worked in Animation before or since the series)

DL:So a question I had for a really long time, is why don't they have tails?

GB:Thank God for that. The characters in R. Scarry had tails that stuck out of little holes in their pants. The dog character's tails looked kind of phallic even. I think the reason is that although Arthur characters are animal-headed they are actually just kids. So they don't have paws or legs like animals or anything. Unless they are actually an animal like Pal or Nemo.

DL:Oh, that makes sense. Many people think that Arthur is just a human who sees everyone as animals. Because in the last episode, Arthur got into drawing animals and in the future he made an autobiographical book with everybody as animals in-universe.Right?

GB:But even in the last episode he still looks like an animal though when he shows his book of the first episode that he illustrated. Now you got me. Why is he studying animals?

DL:Yeah, I don't know. I mean, are they animals or not? Did you talk to Brown about the episode ending?

GB:Of course, we all read the script drafts and approved the character designs, and watched the various versions of the incomplete show. I remember from Marc's comments years ago that he said he wished he had not done the books as animals in the first place because he just wanted them to be kids. It was something he could not undo.I had a different interpretation of the last episode though from the others and I am entitled to my own opinion. I think that none of the time frame from episode 1 until before we dissolved to the Sugarfree Bowl in the last episode existed. The new hipster Arthur is just beginning a fictional book series starting on episode one and he is going to make up all those stories that make up the Arthur TV for the last 25 years. It's not Arthur retelling his past. It's not an autobiography. That doesn't really solve the animal question however. But the end of the last episode is actually the first episode of the series, in that understanding.

DL:Oh, I see, it makes a little sense.

GB:I will have to ask Peter why he didn't ask for the hipster characters at the end to be humans. I will let you know if he had a reason or if he thought they would be.

DL:Another question, why do most animals, like dog and cat characters like Binky and Jenna have human noses?

GB:Jenna has a cat nose. I think because cats often have a nose like a human's. Try to find the Jenna character in the original 10 Arthur books. She looks totally different and not like a cat at all. Binky too is pretty much adapted from the book where he has that big globular nose

He shows me the cover of the first Arthur book, which features a different design than the TV version.

DL:Ah yeah, I remember this is when Arthur was going for a more realistic funny animal style before Marc Brown anthropomorphized them over the years. Imagine if this is what you have to work with if Marc hadn't changed his style.It would've look like Richard Scarry.

GB:He did evolve this more before we started. You would need to look through Arthur's Eyes and Thanksgiving, Arthur's Birthday to see what we had to start with. He only had this super long nose for the first 2 books. They often had hairs drawn on the skin and of course, the clothing changed more often. I was trying to find the old Binky and Sue Ellen picture. I remember a lawyer at Cinar came and asked me which character was in a book. His kid was puzzled. I think it was Sue Ellen but she is very different looking and there was only one design in the books.The books were pretty popular especially amongst educators even before the show came out. They still look pretty good compared to most kids books out there.later on Marc adapted his book illustration more toward what we had in the series and then stuck with it. HIs heads are still a little larger and have nice round furry ears and he is cuter than the TV Arthur, but then again we had to age Arthur up to the 3rd grade for the series. I would say our TV character is more heads high than he is in the current books. He is less wide in the tv series.

DL: Another Question, why did you adapt Arthur's Eyes as the first episode instead of Arthur's Nose? Did you ever adapted Arthur's Nose?

GB: We never did Arthur's Nose. That would have required giving him a nose job or something. Although it would be funny I don't think as many kids would relate to it.

DL: Yeah, Imagine a "Word from Us Kids" segment on that!

GB:Haha! Maybe we could do one more show and do Arthur's Nose but have him change to that big nose like in the first book. All the other kids would be envious and want one like that too.

DL: Yeah, good idea! Lol! So, you were talking about the VAs of the Little Lulu show coming back on Arthur last time. And I wanted to ask how was the recording sessions were on Arthur?

GB: sure go ahead and ask. We primarily had a Montreal cast in the first 10 seasons so we would record in Montreal. Then as time went on we started recording more and more in Toronto but a lot of our main original cast was still in Montreal. Some people were young teens when we started and they had to move away to get on with their lives elsewhere so we would record them remotely in Vancouver or wherever. Some guest stars were recorded in Montreal like Mr. Rogers and Garfunkle and most of the time we had to go to record them where they wanted . It was great in the old days when everyone was together and we could record ensembles. This was really great if we had a big section of Arthur and DW because they would play off each other and we'd get a better performance. Some of the kid characters were adults since the beginning like Bruce Dinsmore who did Binky, Dad and Bailey. And others were old teens like Danny Brochu and Jodi Resther who did Buster and Francine. Then we also had kids like Melissa Altro doing Muffy and the boys that did Brain, Tibbles, Arthur and DW. Those buys kept changing as their voices changed. Initially I insisted we used Michael Caloz as DW even though he is a boy but we had him do the voice of Annie in Little Lulu and I thought he was brilliant. He was the best kid actor I can remember. His voice changed and he moved on in life but we always came back to replacing him with another boy to get that voice quality. I don't know if that answers your question.

DL:Why didn't they record the series in the US if it was an American co-production?

GB:A few reasons come to mind. WGBH was not involved with any production except the writing and the interstitials. Production was all produced or subcontractors were paid by Cinar and so expenses paid in Canada would entitle the production to a tax credit. Secondly, Cinar started as a post-production and recording studio. So we had the facilities and expertise right in-house. Canada at that point already had a reputation for recording animation voice-over. You remember I mentioned that I began working for DIC in Tokyo because I knew someone who owned a recording company in Toronto that recorded voice-over for DIC LA. Even now many animated shows are recorded and post prod is done in Canada for kids shows. If we recorded in the US we would have to send me and a voice director to that city for the recording so it would have been an expense and time spent. Most times the guest stars were recorded in the US.

DL:Ah. So what do you think about the writing on the series and that it was written by Americans, head written by Joe Fallon and Ken Scarabourgh?

GB:I think we had the most amazing writing for any kid's animated series. You also forgot to name Peter Hirsch who was head writer from the time Joe left until the end. We just had the most crazy, most talented and most willing to push the boundaries writers we could have dreamed of. Those guys and even the rest of the writing crew were really fantastic and I loved having the opportunity to work with them. The stories are really what made the series so fantastic and memorable.

DL:Yeah but I remember Joe Fallon left because of something at CINAR.

GB:No nothing to do with Cinar, he left because of a disagreement with Marc Brown. Joe is a fantastically creative and funny writer. His scripts would just be totally insane and you would laugh hard just reading his script. I mean a script isn’t like literature and if you laugh at the script it's rare. Joe would just wind himself up and let go and the story would go through all these crazy places and twists until it came to the end. He is quite brilliant

DL:Yeah and the crazy bus left with him. Seriously, why did that song go?

GB:Yeah that was his crazy bus song. Joe did the demo of that song after he wrote it into the script. Jeff Zahn the music arranger kept Joe's original vocals for the final song and I don't think Joe liked that because he was hoping it would be redone by a singer. Though I guess now he gets the royalties for performing it as well as composing. anyway the song got used a few times in other shows. I think once by Joe and once in another script after Joe left and Joe told us to stop using the song in more shows after he heard that. I don't really know any more of the nitty gritty about that issue. This all kind of heated up about the same time and the fight with Marc and Joe's leaving the show so it was all related in some way.

DL:Ah, so another question is what do you think of AKOM in South Korea and their work on Arthur?

GB:They were excellent. I loved AKOM. It was my favorite studio overseas of the Korean studios. They did such a great job on Arthur. Even sometimes when Simpsons was out of season we would get the animation crew from there on Arthur and the timing and movements were just great in general. Also, the backgrounds were beautiful. They were always on time and I only have praise for them. I miss working with them a lot. I don't even know if AKOM still exists now or if Nelson and his son are still alive.

DL:AKOM is still around but they only do Simpsons now.

GB:Good.

DL:But yeah after Rough Draft opened , they took away many of their clients like Warner, Disney and Universal. to the point of Arthur and Simpsons being their only source of work.

GB: I remember that. I think I was very loyal to them because I always had such great work from them. I first worked with them on Bunch of Munsch and I thought they were good then. So much animation went to China shortly after that point.

DL:Yeah! Your thoughts on the studio, Animation Services? ( I know, it really rolls off the tongue.)

GB:The question should be why did we change to Animation Services who were clearly a less experienced and less talented studio.This was entering the dark days at CINAR. The new owners had taken over and most of the studio had been shut down. The only series was Arthur. Michael Hirsch who was now the president of CINAR had an old dispute with AKOM. He disliked them because he had put a show in AKOM and wanted the best crew on the show but he was not going to pay for the top tier or animation teams. So this old grudge continued later when he controlled CINAR. WGBH also did not get along with Michael Hirsch from a long time ago grudge and they now wanted to cut the budget significantly. At the same time WGBH had it in their heads that we needed to start doing the series in Flash animation because they were doing some other show in Flash and they believed the hype that the show would always be on model and it would be so much cheaper to do. The Flash salesmen had done a good job on them and it stuck in their heads. So we dropped AKOM and started testing companies to do the show in Flash. We tested some good companies in Canada like Mercury and some overseas companies and some pretty inexperienced companies in Canada. We also tested Animation Services. Steven Ching's company. He found a company in Nanjing that could still do traditional animation. At least they still had the key animators but not assistant animators anymore. Anyway, he did the test for the show traditionally on his own decision saying he could do it cheaper than digital. Digital animation was not big yet in China. So out of all the tests we had, I felt that the one from Animation Services still looked the most like the same old Arthur series. The characters seemed to still inhale and breathe compared to digital animation. It wasn't at all as good as AKOM but out of the choices I thought it was going to be less trouble staying in traditional rather than switching to digital and having all those other problems like not having extreme angles and things we were familiar with in Arthur. I got everyone to agree and we managed to do 3 or 4 more seasons traditionally at Animation Services for considerably less money than AKOM. They did try very hard to please us and I know it was hard for them to find the crew that were still able to animate. It was a dying craft at that point in most places. I am glad to be finally able to explain that to someone because it really is the beginning of the end of Arthur. People talk about the drop in quality from one season to the next but this was the reason or how it began.

DL: Yeah, I didn't really like those seasons because the animation was often stiff at times.Why didn't you try Carbunkle Cartoons in Vancouver? They still did traditional and it was run by Bob Jacques who worked with John Kricfalusci.

GB:People complain even more about the seasons done in Flash.Like I said we were not looking to replace AKOM with another traditional animation company, we were testing companies to do it digitally in Flash or ToonBoom. Animation Services just ignored that and did it traditionally for the same price. What we were paying was never very high for Arthur and now we are looking at a drastic reduction in money to do the show. Everyone coming along kept saying it would be the last season anyway.

Fairy Names Pt. 2

Fly with you! It’s been a while hasn’t it? Anyway, I’m here for a second part of one of my most popular posts.

The first post listed fairy names that were used in the DS game “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” in the create-a-fairy section of the game. While the names provided were feminine, I have pulled all of the masculine fairy names from the original Pixie Hollow game. Some names are repeats from the original post, but I kept them in as I wanted to get this out as soon as possible. I hope you enjoy. Here’s the original post.
