In David’s Name

THE STORY BEHIND THE VIDEO:
My friend—actor/director and musician David Soul (co-star of the iconic 1970s television series, Starsky and Hutch)—narrated this 58-minute story by Roald Dahl called THE TWITS. We then brought it to life with Quentin Blake’s illustrations under David’s direction.
We spent a great deal of time on this project: scanning and cropping and editing images; finding and clipping sound effects, choosing the right music, learning new video techniques, and then bringing it all together—just for the fun of it. We laughed a lot while making this animated film. I will never forget THAT part.
David intended to release our TWITS production last Christmas; the only thing we had left to do was to film him making an introduction, but the powers-that-be had other plans. In his memory, I am privileged to fulfill his wishes this year.
