I've just finished uploading some more photos of David Selby from the recent Dark Shadows Festival. These three new pages of photos were kindly donated by Dean. You can view them by clicking on the link banner below and then following the link in the What's New section.

I've just finished uploading Bobubas' 2002 Dark Shadows Festival photos on his web site. You can find them at the url below:

I see Bob is continuing the tradition of the "Criseyde with her mouth full of food at the banquet" pix. What a pal!

This thing has been in production since at least 1999. Selby recorded his part that year, shortly after finishing up Long Day's Journey into Night at Hartford Stage.

The video includes a featurette about the making of the program. The only actor whose recording session is featured is David Selby's. It also explains the use of multiple types of animation. I've seen a couple of posts where folks had commented that the animation looked rough. It's supposed to look the way it does, and co-producer/animator Brad Stalnaker also explains this on the video. Sometimes he opts for a very minimalist approach in order to draw attention to specific aspects of the characters. This isn't supposed to look like Disney.

The web site Julia99 provided is the official site for the production and includes all of the material that comes in the teaching packet.  The producers received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, and a lot of time and effort went into perfecting the teaching materials.

The site also includes photos of David at one of the premieres.

If that's not enough to keep you occupied, visit my Selby site (link banner below), and check out the News page for all sorts of links to information about The Griffin and the Minor Canon. I've got some additional photos from the Charleston premiere. I also have some screen grabs on there from the production as well as from David's recording session. His father was present during the session, and you can see his reflection on the glass over David's face. It's a very interesting visual effect, though it was unintentional.

I was quite intrigued by the video that David Selby produced and provided voice-work on, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon."  Hope to do more investigating, as it seemed to be based on a children's book.

The program is based on the story of the same name by Frank Stockton, who's probably best known for "The Lady or the Tiger," and the story was selected because it was written by Stockton while he was residing in Charleston.

Had there been time to show the brief featurette about the making of the film that's on the end of the video, everyone would've gotten these little tidbits along with a clip of David recording his part.

There's a web site for the production at:

http://www.griffin-minorcanon.org/

Unfortunately, certain webmasters who shall remain nameless were not ballsy enough to jump up and offer the ordering information when David said he didn't have it handy on stage.  

Well, once again, I have proven myself totally incompetent with a camera, which is why I rely on Sheenasma for the bulk of the personal appearance photos on my Selby site. However, I do have one cast photo that didn't come out like a total steaming piece of crap.



From left to right: David Selby, Marie Wallace, Jeanne Avery (David Henesy's mother), Kathryn Leigh Scott, Roger Davis, Chris Pennock, and John Karlen.

This photo is also on my David Selby site, and I'll be uploading more Selby photos as they become available.  

Hi everybody,

Due to a very generous donation of web space, I have relocated both Criseyde's David Selby Site and my Dark Shadows Alumni Movie Site to a new domain.

The Dark Shadows Alumni Movie Site can now be found at:
http://www.ldrservicesonline.com/darkshadows

Criseyde's David Selby Site can now be found at:
http://www.ldrservicesonline.com/davidselbysite

I should have redirects from the old pages up by morning.

I'm also happy to say that along with the move comes a little redecorating work. The color schemes and graphics on both sites have been updated somewhat, and the Selby site features recently added text and images from a 1970 article from TV Dawn to Dusk about the problems of being a television idol courtesy of an anonymous donor. (Here's a little tip for John Dean. The donor was not Deep Throat.   )

Enjoy!
