This was originally produced for Cinemark with the idea that it would run before shows a full-length policy trailer was not deemed appropriate (art films and such). It turned out to be a cool sound demo that really showed off the surround sound, much like the Dolby or DTS promos, so many times it was used along with the policy trailer. This is a revamped version that never played, until YouTube.

This trailer was produced in 1988-89 for Santikos Theatres, San Antonio, TX. For you fellow San Antonioians, note the promo for the now defunct newspaper San Antonio Light (although Larry Ratliff still reviews for the Express-News). Stop the picture as the frontpage papers are going by and read the headline about San Antonio being shocked by fuel price increases ($.98/gallon). History repeats itself!! Once again, none of this was computer generated - it was all backlit transparencies and artwork shot using multiple pass and slitscan techniques with an Oxberry Master Series Animation Stand with a Cinetron motion control system. The music was scored in Austin and mixed at Skywalker Sound - many of the sound effects you hear in this trailer were lifted from sound fx Skywalker had from Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Higher resolution version of this trailer - This was the 4th in the Front Row Joe series for Cinemark (1991). The Little Friskies were, of course, modeled after the Andrews Sisters. This was Popcorn Penny's debut. I believe she was voiced by the same woman that did the singing for the Little Friskies (yes, it's one vocalist singing all parts layered together in the studio). The music was recorded in Austin, TX and mixed at ToddAO/Glen Glenn in L.A. As noted before, the opening graphics were done using slitscan techniques on an computerized Oxberry Animation Stand to simulate 3D computer graphics (in 1990, computer generated imagery was still prohitively expensive for the budget we had on the Cinemark trailers - we would acquire our first SGI computer the following year). When shooting film on the Oxberry, you were manipulating flat artwork with open lenses and camera moves. You wouldn't know if everything worked the way you wanted until you had the film processed (after many hours of shooting). You were either elated or crushed when you saw the results (crushed meant back to the camera room for another multi-hour session of shooting under hot lights). Ah, the good ol' days!

This was the first of 3 Popeye cartoon promos we did for Dickinson Theatres in the early-mid 90's. As a lifelong Popeye fan, I was thrilled to be working with the salty ol' cuss. I was surprised by how little control King Features kept on the Popeye character. We really didn't get much in the way of model sheets or instruction. The voices were all local from San Antonio, and include DJ Sonny Melendrez as the voice of Popeye. King Features gave me the impression they didn't really care too much as long as they were getting their licensing fee. This also illustrates the problem we had doing these short promos, trying to tell a story and sell an item in less than 30 seconds and have it make any kind of sense and still be entertaining.
