"It's Cold Inside" The Crinkle Cuts

This was one of many episodes of "Life in the Fridge" created for the first season of CBS Inc.'s "Pee Wee's Playhouse" produced by Broadcast Arts in NYC. I worked as the DP (director of photography) with director: Rob Niosi, animator: Spencer Cook & producer Eric Herman. This is what occupied most of my summer in 1986. In addition to doing the lighting and camera work I also did motion control and occasionally animated a shot or two. The Joshua Light-show seen behind The Crinkle Cuts band was footage my father shot at a Jeff Beck concert at the Filmore East in NYC circa 1968 and was rear projected one frame at a time into the stop motion set. The song "It's Cold Inside" was written and performed by Mark Mothersbough of Devo.
