Heather Ferreira's Sunshine Again - Number Recognition: 8

Deliberately soft-focus "around and about" images and subtly challenging music blend with a dark narration to create one of those creepily watchable filmic segments a certain show used to include. Guaranteed to make your toddler-to-5 annoyingly point out every 8 he or she comes across for the rest of the week... and learn.

Warm thank yous to everyone who helped make this clip happen!

Voice talent: to be reworked and TBA
Director: Heather Ferreira

Do you guys work for or are trying to get jobs with Sesame Workshop? This is fantastic. (No, I don't have any connections with them).

When this ended, I almost expected to hear a quick cut to "Sesame Street News" or an Ernie and Bert segment. You never lose the training! : )

Are these being broadcast on TV anywhere? Are you making a DVD?

This is a national television series. It premieres late Oct 2007 on over 75 U.S. public access and cable stations, and we're making several DVDs of it. We're taping the live "human characters on the street" segments right now in Albuquerque. We would NEVER work for Sesame Workshop.

For CTW, if we could go back in time, maybe.

"Creepily watchable" is right: if nothing else, kids will learn that numbers can pop up all over the place, and that they don't always appear alone.

Very great 8 film. :) And the music to it reminds me of those searching for circles and squares films from Sesame Street.
