Santa Claus is Coming to Town....Again?

Hello to all of "Gang of 7" fans!

Remember our Santa Claus project that we told you about in our earlier blog?

We thought you'd get a kick out of watching a small clip of our associate, Lou Scheimer, doing the narration of this fanciful piece in the studio of our musician, Will Anderson.

By the way, Lou not only ran the legendary Filmation Studios, but also did voices for a lot of his cartoons. A few of the roles which Lou played were "Ghostbusters" playing Tracy and "She-Ra: Princess of Power" in which Lou played Horde Trooper. Also, in "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids," he also played Dumb Donald, Stinger, Legal Eagle....and many more.

So you can see, there's a real reason why "Gang of 7 Animation" is so absolutley thrilled to have the Great Lou Scheimer as an active part of our group.

Ok. So, this is how you retrieve this Quicktime clip.

Ready?

Just click on our Title "Santa Claus is coming to Town....Again?," then hit Play and...

Enjoy!

"ANYBODY GOT CHANGE FOR A DOLLAR?"

Well, you can bet your bottom dollar that “Gang of 7” is now in the process of taking the famous, best selling poster, “Change For A Dollar,” designed and drawn by our Associate, Bernie Wrightson, and working on turning it into the gem that it was always meant to be !

“Gang of 7” took the simple premise of the poster and managed to flesh out a terrific beginning, middle and end to compliment it. Making this five minute short was a delicious task and frankly, between Bernie’s phenomenal poster and the creative juices of our team, this is going to be a whole lot of fun.

Direrctor Rich Arons and Producer Tom Tataranowicz collectively directed this film. Tom “T.” wrote the script for this baby and Rick Maki storyboarded this fantastic, fun filled short unlike any other. So, the simple premise of this poster has more than fulfilled G-7’s view of Bernie Wrightson’s vision!

Keep watching for updates.

Oh yeah, WARNING… this baby is “R” rated!
