Comment on Hey Producers… by dermot

hehehe…..I’m reminded of something Sean Connery said at his lifetime achievement award ceremony. He said ( imperfect memory quote ) ” making movies is a lot like shoveling shit uphill….some people pitch in and help….some don’t….some make it worse….you know who you are “

In reply to Greg Turner. Spoken like a true composer! :) But my point still stands: I think in many circumstances, if any given element of a film falls short, another element may be able to "save" it. Editing HAS saved music in some cases. And music has definitely saved acting, writing, editing in other cases. Not saying that's ever preferred, but it's another way that all elements must be viewed as symbiotic to each other, and dependent on each other.

Hmmmmm….. don’t think the editing is going to save the music – music plays TO (and through…) the editing (and acting, etc….). If editing needs to save the music, you have a bad composer…. just sayin’…. 🙂

Missed your February reply to my October question until just now, haha. 🙂 With the knowledge that I might not hear anything back from you right away, I am wondering whether we’ll get an update on Frog and Toad anytime soon. At least a nibble?

In reply to Jeremiah. Sorry, it took me a while to see this comment. No, "Frog & Toad" will be totally animated, like many CGI animated films you see from Pixar, Dreamworks, etc. Henson is investing a lot more in animation development and this is one of their big projects in this area.

Great to have an update! Hope you can share more soon. I don’t know how much your allowed to reveal about Frog & Toad right now, but I was wondering – what method will you be using to make that film? It’s with the Henson Company right? So will it be done with puppets?

In reply to greg p.

Christian artists can be the worst carriers of this “preciousness,” I’m afraid. When the message is so sacred to them, it’s hard to hear a word of criticism about their execution of that message. My wife worked in a Christian publishing company and was told by some authors submitting manuscripts that “every word is ordained by God.” Or if she discarded the rejected manuscript (as was company policy), she was told by the author, “That’s like throwing out the Bible!” Hmmmm. IS it?

For those of us who are Christians, WE OURSELVES are constant works of art-in-progress, being refined and changed and pounded into something better. We cannot be precious regarding that either!
