A typography-filled 2014 adaptation of Sergei Prokofiev’s ‘Peter And The Wolf’ by Gordon (Thierry Guernet), Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet, and Corentin Leconte of Camera Lucida for Radio France, featuring the National Orchestra of France, conducted by the maestro Daniele Gatti.

A compilation of clips by Frank Vaccarriello from the long running Korean war medical sitcom addressing various health and safety measures relevant to the current global campaign. Sez he:
I have sincerely believed for a long time that whatever issue life puts in front of us M*A*S*H had a solution. I had some pent up creative energy today, so I did this while you were all cleaning your closets and such.
An award winning 2016 short by Russian animator and director Dina Velikovskaya in which a determinedly ambitious mother bird, obsessed with reaching the sun, finds herself distracted at the arrival of her similarly attired, newly hatched chick.
