A. Film L.A. test

Based on my posting of the draft of the 1932 Mickey short Klondike Kid, Jeff Watson sent me these mosaics to post here, and we can only say Thanks, Jeff!

Jeff Watson sent me another mosaic to upload on my blog, this time for Mickey's Orphans . Jeff writes: "There is a likely mis-attribution in the draft for scene 22: Gerry (Geronimi) is named and the action description is "Kittens on piano - belly-whopper stunt." However, scene 22 is just a closer-up version scene 19 which is attributed to David Hand. Since there is nothing in the footage approaching scene 22's action description, I'm pretty sure it's David Hand's work. Also, scenes 32, 33, 37, and 38 are unattributed. I don't have a sense of who might have animated any of them. I'll give those scenes a closer viewing and see if I can relate them to either David Hand's or Hardie Gramatky's earlier scenes with multiple kittens. Maybe Gerry Geronimi got to work on these?" Thanks again, Jeff!

Jeff Watson sent me these mosaics for The Fire Fighters . Thanks, Jeff! I am still having computer problems, but I will try my best to get some meaningful stuff uploaded!

Based on my posting of the draft of Prod. UM45, Donald and Pluto, Jeff Watson has made a mosaic, " Mark Mayerson Style," of this film, and here it is! Thanks, Jeff! Jeff noted that there seemed to be some extra scenes in the beginning. Since these are all using the same background, it is my opinion that these are camera-cuts: within this (20 second) scene, there would be indications on the exposure sheets to move the camera abruptly to a new location, thereby giving the sense of a cut to a new scene. The animation just continues, the camera looking at a different spot... Note: I may not be able to do any posting before April 4th or so! Check back - who knows!
