I get the impression he was wanting to do a time-lapse of a sunrise and screwed it up (the opening music heard in Bambi Meets Godzilla sounds like a leftover remnant of that approach). I wouldn't blame him, I tried one myself using a Bolex and it's stop-motion feature and didn't get the shot I needed as it looked like a quick fade-in.<br /><br />Of course Newland would go on to form his own studio in Vancouver responsible for some of Nickelodeon's animated bumpers in the 80's called "International Rocketship Ltd.", here's one of 'em!<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYifYR4Tb0o<br /><br />Several other short films he either directed or produced had also been seen on the channel as break fillers around the late 80's/early 90's, here's a notable one that I recall seeing a lot during "Special Delivery"...<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ6dsQ9zAYUChris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.com
