Kerry Uchida - Sound Design Demo - Tales From the Far Side 1&2

[@randydewees7338]

I'm a Farside fan from way back and I just did not know these works existed.

[@michaelcurcio4025]

O M G,where has this been my whole life!!?

[@0therun1t21]

I've never seen this before and I love the Far Side, thank you! The sound design was just right.

[@ScoundrelSFB]

I remember seeing this as a kid and i haven't seen it again till now. This was truly a wonderful nostalgic trip and wish to thank you.

[@petermccracken2247]

Pure Talent !! To the creators of this comical masterpiece, I say THANK YOU !!! Gary Larson is a genius.

[@chrismayer3919]

I had NO idea Gary Larson’s comic could be animated! What a pleasant surprise

[@aaronkitchens4151]

It was a short lived series

[@MyYTaccountName]

I'd love to watch a fully animated Far side series.

[@rzz9594]

Good luck 🍀. Not available that i know of . Even 2 short cartoons ,; tales from the far side volume 1 & 2 cannot be viewed completely.. greed by u tube or copyright.. who knows..

[@ColleenLytle-sq8tx]

@@rzz9594 Thank you, Dave, I'll take, "Grredy KZbin" for $500., please...

[@theodorekey7871]

The sound design was perfect, captured the tension, texture and that slightly surreal menace that Larson always got. Great job.

[@privateprivate1865]

You read my mind. The background music my favorite part of the sound design

[@FretnesButke]

Wow! Gary Larson animated! I never saw this! What a treat! Great sound design work!

[@ImnotGary]

Way to bring Gary’s creations to life with fantastic sound design. I love it!

[@slitor]

I just recently remembered this classic from my childhood, which I recorded and watched again and again. Now I can thank one of the makers.

[@TrapperJohn-we7mj]

@slitor do you by any chance still have the recordings?

Had Vol 1 and 2 on VHS cassette in the late 90s - absolutely loved it - I was only about 11 or 12 and probably shouldn't have seen it - it was my mom's copy - shes a big Far Side fan

[@jasontowne120]

I had all of his books when I was growing up. I couldn't get enuff of them! For me, finding this video was an ABSOLUTE TREAT!

[@crustycobs2669]

The sound design for this is perfect, and goes perfectly with the animation. Incredible work!

[@angusclark8330]

Great achievement. The Far Side lives!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

The two _The Far Side_ animated programs are sublime and delightfully macabre and zany. I love the animation, sound work, Bill Frisell's music contributions, the dark humor, and the whole mood. They're basically perfect fare for when Halloween comes around in the autumn. Happy to find this video here.

[@blucat4]

The songs are great, esp in Tales ftfs II, I just love 'Crazy', it sounds terrific. I guess that's Bill Frisell on guitar.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@blucat4 Frisell was a great choice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4GQhYKAaZaCn6M&pp=ygUVYmlsbCBmcmlzZWxsIGZhciBzaWRl

Sick and delightful. As Gary Larson always is! :)

[@spercwolf2985]

Just like the Dilbert cartoon series, fantasic cartoons but I think just came out a little to late to become popular shows. Sad though, I would have loved a long series of both.

[@KushDaddy333]

This definitely is 1000×'s better with headphones on. The Sound Design was nearly as bizarre as the mind of Gary Larson. Well done. Personally, I enjoyed this maybe a little too much, thanks to our good friend Cannabis. 😂 😅 😊

[@tannerrichestudios9534]

I love it when the plane monitor just flashes "Uh-Oh" lol

[@rhondaeverett8284]

And the spacecraft Hanks towing 😂

[@agalgonzalez]

Good use of the clip from Vincent Price's movie 'The Fly' in the airplane sequence.

[@simplersearchproductions]

Excellent sound design. For some strange reason NFB's The Big Snit (1985) jumped into my mind.😄

[@InscrutableObjects]

Wow! What a ride. That sounded GREAT! Nice work.

[@daneb.mcfadhen9896]

Years later and it's still funny.

[@nigratruo]

Wow, I love that sound work, it makes everything come to live so much. Especially the hot rod time machine, love it! The scientist next door that has all the chicks and fun ;-) I love how the cranking sounds of the engine.

[@JeannetteReed]

K, that was nicely done!! Huge Larson fan, for me, this held up the required droll poker face quality. 🎉😅

[@juliablizin8885]

the sound design matches the video so perfectly that it is simply awesome! Well done, and thank you for YOUR genius!

[@okd521]

That was fun I enjoyed the heck out of that 🤪

[@liamhill3263]

Amazing work! These 2 specials are some of my favourite animated spots ever

The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. My daily dose of laughter as a teen. Back when there was this lump of wood pulp called a newspaper.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

*@Technomorph Sound Design* Ive got nothing but admiration for recording & mixing engineers. Its a tedious indoor job. I wouldnt be able to sit still long enough in front of a mixing console or PC workstation long enough to get _anywhere,_ esp with a project like this one... At least 2 weeks of continuous cueing, re-cueing & editing, not counting the hours needed to record voice & sound f/x bits in the first place. So kudos to you, Kerry. This demo has helped me realize a better appreciation for your projects, and for that of R&M work in general And you just have to admit Gary Larsons wit & originality is at least as good as that of Looney Tunes & of the Pink Panther. People can disagree with me all they like, but his comedy is just as much on that level. Had Gary chosen to license his _The Far Side_ out to an animation studio & let them produce a TV series, at least the Simpsons wouldve had a worthy competitor! Food for thought: I cant be the only person burned out from 30 years of the Simpsons, and from that entire dull dumb franchise of Seth McFarland- - Family Guy, The Clevelands, etc. The Sitcom as a cartoon worked fine for The Flintstones, & the Jetsons. But enough is enough. There are too many other story premises & plots with which to begin- - including some that have yet to be invented- - to just keep exhausting variation after variation of the same dumb theme... its the very opposite of variety, of originality, or ANYTHING fresh & new Im afraid that if all the viewing Public is satisfied with are shows such as the Simpsons & Family Guy, then the next generation of commercially successful cartoon shows will be even more dumbed-down & pathetic than ever before. When I look at whats being produced today in live-action film- - in Hollywood & overseas- - its actually encouraging. Legitimate storytelling & writing talent is still here. But with regards to whats been most popular in the cartoon world?! As far as Im concerned its been in the TOILET ever since the late 90s The New Pink Panther was all that I could see carrying on until 1997, which was also the last year that Chuck Jones revived Looney Tunes. Tom & Jerry were also renewed by brand new producers from about 2000 to 2008. Looks to me like theres been little to nothing worth mentioning in new cartoon production since that time. So until something drastic happens, to me thats been the death of "domestic" American cartoons, ever since 😔 As she grew up, thankfully my daughter learned to have better taste & AVOID the Simpsons & Seth McFarlands garbage. And now that Im a grandparent, I would never let my grandkids watch that pathetic junk!

[@PsychicIsaacs]

Can I plug Michael Cusack? Check out his work, I think you'd appreciate it...

[@PsychicIsaacs]

And The Big Lez Show as well... Enjoy!!!

[@magnificentmuttley154]

@@PsychicIsaacs Thank You for your recommendations, Guineith! I've always loved good cartoons. They keep your sense of humor stimulated & give you a break from life's mental burdens. I'll be sure to look up Michael Cusack & Big Lez 😊💕

[@SamuelSEdme]

The Simpsons and Family Guy were great sitcoms up until a certain point so no need to dump on their entire legacy. If you're looking for quality current animated sitcoms, I'd recommend checking out Close Enough, Tuca and Bertie, Solar Opposites, and The Shivering Truth (this one has more of the dark, absurdist humor that you might associate with The Far Side).

Love it. Although they're all very good, my favorite is, "Hooves of Fury." Wish I could get a sticker of the fancy time machine with the inventor and the two ladies inside. Make that a pack of stickers so I can plaster them everywhere.

[@blucat4]

I love that one as well. But I just watched both specials and I can't get the song 'Crazy' out of my head. It sounds sooo good, it's done really well. And the clip has such an unexpected ending. "Crazy for falling in love, with, yoooouuuuuu." 😂

[@lesizmor9079]

Kerry/TSD--- The compositions here are uniformly great. The overall tone (EQ) is brash with weak low end, suggesting your monitoring system is a bit off. Big woofers, rolled back mids/highs in your speakers will make you have a mix like this.

[@NessLover94]

I can slightly remember that scene where a cow is playing an arcade game from when I was probably 3 or 4, but I could not remember from where until now.
