Yes, the early 60's with its live TV was a great time to be alive.

Some of those tracks, like the ones you mention, definitely stand on their own.

These are terrible ideas! In the interview, Art Clokey said that people had a connection not just to Gumby but to the clay. But take the clay away and make Gumby 2D and where is that connection? In my last conversation with Joe Clokey, he said that he wanted to partner with a major company but still retain control of Gumby, much like his father wanted. Obviously, Joe's children and wife don't feel the same way. They seemed fairly eager to unload the Gumby franchise to Fox Entertainment. As Art might have said, "They don't respect Gumby. They don't know what Gumby is about," (quoting from the interview).

Yes, with soft aluminum wire in the legs.

@@zebraradio1610 What kind of Clay did Art used?.

@@meowkitty5588 Plasticine clay, the type that is used in clay animation.

I'm sure it would make a great biopic.

It had its moments.

Indeed so. The series' various themes, such as authoritarianism and governmental hypocrisy, still ring true today.

While I am aware of OBS, I've never had a need to work with it. You might ask Jason Cox at Fidelity Media about integrating the two apps.

I'm happy you found it interesting. Hopefully, you have checked out the other videos on Clokey Productions and Art Clokey which I make reference to in "Deep Gumby."

Glad you found it useful. Unfortunately, RUclips doesn't allow pdf downloads. This was the only way I could think of to make it available.

Thank you. Art did not specify which products he objected to or why Lakeside Toys was dropped. Art lost control of Gumby and Clokey Productions when he divorced Ruth in '66 (although he was still collecting royalties). As he said in the interview, "they were not respecting Gumby," meaning Ruth, who had control of Gumby and Pokey at the time, was allowing the toy company to attach Gumby's name and image to products Art didn't approve of. But I suspect the friction between the two went deeper than just control of Gumby. On tape, which I did not include in the interview video, Art criticized Ruth's "limited consciousness," referring to her myopic view of spirituality. I believe the real source of the friction with Art and Ruth (I have spoken to Ruth at least a half dozen times) centered on their religious differences with Art turning away from Lutheranism and Christianity and embracing Eastern Religions.

@@zebraradio1610 that makes sense. Since D&G was Ruth’s “child” per-say and Gumby was Art’s, since they had different religious views, their views went into their creations which is why Gumby has much more of a “new age/zen” feel if you will. I hate that the relationship went the way it did, but I’m very grateful for the creativity of Mr.Clokey and his artistic creation of Gumby. Has brought me many years of joy since I was a young child and I still enjoy and collect Gumby items to this very day.

I'm glad you liked it. RUclips doesn't seem to have a mechanism for downloading pdf documents. So I thought I would try it through video.

9:59 This photo of the set is actually so awesome, such a treasure

What you say is true. Something else that makes stop motion animation so special is that it employs and brings together all of the arts and crafts. Sculpting, puppetry, design, performance, writing, photographic techniques such as lighting and composition, stage craft and audio design. As such, it is far more labor intensive than any other style of animation. But it is also much more satisfying in my view. Yes, it can be expensive, but it needn't be. One can animate found objects and brings those to life and give them personality. The possibilities are endless.

Glad you enjoyed it. It's all true.

Several have asked about it, so I'll have to figure out a way it can be downloaded from RUclips.

@@zebraradio1610 Keep me posted! I'd really like to give it a read :)

Glad you enjoyed it. Supposedly there two other albums of music from The Prisoner.

@@zebraradio1610 Iam watching "The General" now, and simultaneously searching online to buy a #6 blazer. I just came across their gift shop, and am happy to hear you nabbed this soundtrack there. Now Iam on a search for the other albums, since learning this!

Yes, the song selections and Perry Botkin Jr. arrangements are wonderful.

Thanks, Larry. According to Bill Stulla's daughter it's the only behind-the-scenes footage of the show from that era in existence. She gave me one of Bill's Emmy Awards which you can see on the re-edited version. BTW, Bill Stulla was Hungarian.

Glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some good memories.

I completely agree, Lynne. We are in the process of establishing a low power FM station which will feature music like the Hollyridge Strings as well as Exotica and similar music from the 50's thru mid-70's. Many arrangers from that era, such as Stu Phillips and Les Baxter, were proud of the music they recorded. Rightly so.

I agree

Times have changed and so has the style 😢

Glad you enjoyed it. I had forgotten that I had this tape. It reminds me of his old talk show, back when talk shows were witty and insightful.

@@zebraradio1610 I know right? And, needless to say, Steve was the ORIGINAL Tonight Show host! Him & Tom Poston were perfect!

Seriously? I never heard that.

@@poolside123canadian7 yeah, Kliph Nesteroff dug up a bunch of dirt and talked to a bunch of people that worked around him. id post a link, but youtube won't let me...

@@ajjackson1526 I know he experimented with LSD, that’s a little tid bit. But then again, in the 60’s, who didn’t? lol
