Dunderbeck Surprise Premiere
Those who attended the Workshop Film Fest were treated to the unexpected premiere of the long term collaborative animation project, “Dunderbeck the Butcher.”
For the last several months, guilt-wracked workshop instructor Mike was haunted by dancing sausages in his dreams. “Why haven’t you edited the Dunderbeck film?” they called out. “Don’t the kids deserve a finished product? Also, the world is clamoring to hear you sing!” Certainly, these were very persistent sausages.
After many sleepless nights, Mike finally got his act together and edited music and sound effects to the kids’ animation. The film festival crowd seemed to love it, despite Mike’s off key singing.
You can now watch it online. But beware… you’ll be humming the Dunderbeck song all day!
