Four Rons: "My Block"


"Four Rons: My Block"
(click thumbnail or here to watch .wmv video - 5.1 MB, 1.30 Min.)

I was sitting around thinking of vlog stories a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to do something with music. I wanted to start with a simple idea, and for some reason started to think about the street that I live on in Sunnyvale. A tune sort of hatched in my head at that point, hammer beat on cogwheel, and the Four Rons were born. I hope you enjoy this weird result. All Rons sing, and one of the Rons is also drumming on his calf. I wish they would get along a little better sometimes. :)

The file size is bigger than most - I found some weird effects with Windows Media Player. Although each image was set to .25 sec, the final file would skip over some frames. I had to lower the compression to get it to behave. If anyone knows what happened, let me know! I've only seen it with 100+ images being rendered in this sort of sequence.

    I can't get over how totally cool this is. I watched it again this morning.

    If I watch this any more, I will get fired for excessive laughing at my desk. Next comes the Jewish version: "My Schlock."
