VCU French Film Festival

We had our fish!
One of the 200+ sculptured fish around Richmond through October 2001.
(It was located in front of the boxoffice on Cary Street.)

The theme of the fish is Main Street Film & Animation's 25th Anniversary. The film scales on the fish is actual footage from commercials we've done for Hardees and Erlanger hospital. The images are as follows; The little girl is from a Christian Children's Fund commercial shot in the Philipines. The Circus picture is from a show just completed for Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey's Video Program Book. This can be purchased at the circus next year or on Ringling's website. Thalhimers is from one of the many Christmas campaigns from years past. The George Washington picture is from The Making of The Constitution film, which was shown on A&E. The cartoon character is called "Ozone Guy". He is a 3D animated character for the Indianapolis Clean Air Campaign. Millions is from a bank campaign shot last year downtown for the Independent Community Bankers Association. The 20's looking picture is from a commercial for Fulton Bank showing people outside of a bank during the stock market crash. What's ironic is that it's shot in front of our building which used to be a bank that suffered due to the actual stock market crash. The 70's picture was done for Carolina Telephone in the 70's. That's why it's so groovy.

Before the movie "The Sixth Sense" on Saturday night, 3/17/2000, Gary Land joined Bob at the Mighty Wurlitzer to sing "Danny Boy"
After his solo he lead the large crowd in a sing-a-long "When Irish Eyes are Similing" and
"I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover"
It took about 2 years to talk Gary, a manager at the New York Deli 2 doors west of the Byrd, into singing one Saturday night for our two 10 minute productions. This was such a success with our audience, I'm sure we will hear him again - soon.

Thanks Gary...
