Video Sunday: Bubble Gum and Cottages

November 15, 2009 by Betsy Bird   3 comments

"Make a World : the Film" Teaser from makeaworldfilm on Vimeo.

A show of hands. How many of you knew that there was a documentary about Ed Emberley being made called Ed Emberley’s Make the World: A Film? Well, the film is on FaceBook and Twitter, in case you’d like to support it.  Thanks to Drawn for the link.

Back in 2004 Bill Moyers interviewed Maurice Sendak about WTWTA.  I never saw it originally, but the link is available for one and all to see.  Thanks to @ABCKristen for the link.

One of my favorite author/illustrators has gone and made herself one of the finest picture book trailers of the year, bar none.  This is absolutely fantastic.  I just regret I hadn’t seen it sooner.


Where she found Brigitte Bardot singing "Bubble Gum" I’ll never know.  In any case, gonna get me some Pop by Meghan McCarthy when it comes out.  Uh-huh, uh-huh.  Thanks to Abby (the) Librarian for the link.

Speaking of awesome ladies and their videos, did you know that Laurie Halse Anderson makes a fine documentarian?  In this little vid we see the writer’s ultimate dream: The writing cottage.  Says the description: "Laurie Halse Anderson recounts the conception and building of her writing cottage. The cottage is off-grid and was built to be easy on the environment as well as warm and quiet. It was designed and built for her by her husband, who is a carpenter, and several of his friends."


Beautiful.

Finally, I cannot embed the first off-topic video I wanted to do (Kuricorder Quartet – Imperial March).  So I’ll just have to settle for this dry piece of British wit instead.  This is the Buckingham Palace Marching Band and evidence of their sense of humor.

    I can’t stop watching the bubble gum trailer….oh, how clever!

    Ed Emberley is the man! This movie looks like a fitting tribute — let’s hope it wins a Doc Oscar and E.E. gets a well-earned moment on the word stage.

    Oh, oh, oh, I am in the throes of serious Cottage Lust! This cannot be good for me… or maybe it can! It’s a pleasure just to know that a thing of such beauty and thoughtful utility and love exists in the world. Bliss!
