This is a music video I've edited for the song "Now I Am An Arsonist" by Jonathan Coulton (from his 2011 album, "Artificial Heart") featuring Suzanne Vega on lead vocals.

All of the footage came from the short animated films by the late filmmaker and children's book author, Gerald McDermott: "Sun Flight" (1966) and "The Stonecutter" (1960). Both films were designed and directed by Mr. McDermott and are available to view on Archive.org (see links below).

    It's about the command module of the Apollo 11 mission.

    Saw this live last week and Suzanne Vega actually showed up! Needless to say, I totally lost it halfway through the song.
