  • Help create a Shadow Puppet Video for ellen cherry’s newest song Pickett’s Charge


    ellen cherry (yup, it’s supposed to be lower-case!) has a pretty cool project going to create a shadow puppet video for one of the songs on her upcoming album, “Please Don’t Sell the Piano”.  The contraption for the video is called a “crankie”, probably because you crank a big spool of paper with the background images on it from one side to the other, while the puppeteer uses puppets and lighting to create the story in real time.  In other words, awesome!

    You may remember ellen from our interview in September, click here to listen to the archive on KRUU (or download and listen later!)

    If you want to support this fascinating and beautiful artistic collaboration, click the IndieGoGo button to watch ellen’s video explaining the project, and to donate as well as spread the word!
