Chateau/Poyet
Overview
The scene is set in front of a French chateau. The camera chases improbable incidents across the screen. Many are constructed out of one of Jordan's favorite engravings illustrators: Poyet. Duels occur on a tight rope. Heavier-than- air machines fly (and sometimes crash). Below guns spear exploding spheres. The timing of the animation is exquisite, existing in an atmosphere balanced between frenzy and delight.

Fun On Mars
"I made this film when I went to the San Francisco Art Institute, after graduating from Smith a semester early. It was my reaction to California.

The doctored photo was of an astronaut on the moon-- I thought he looked like a duck and made him one. From 1971-- Yikes!" -SC.
