Welcome to the blog of Dennis J. Woodyard - Journeyman Artist, and Dragonfly Entertainment. Former TV animation producer/director, storyboard artist, character designer, writer, concept artist, Flip book designer, and other professional credits.
I recently post two new movies to my Youtube site. The first was another video of a children's filmstrip I illustrated in the 1970's and '80's, titled "Atalanta". Atalanta is a Greek myth. Before the big video revolution, this was the AV stuff teachers used. The best part is teacher turned off the room lights making it easier to nap through the program. Enjoy.
The second is another video base on a set of Magic Lantern slide I found in the trash in the 1970's. "Fare thee Well Molly Daring" is an old song I was lucky enough to finally find a recording of on the internet.
There is still one old song I'm looking for to cover the last remaining set of slides. I'll be sure to share it when I found it. In the mean time, enjoy.
Here's another children's filmstrip I illustrated back in the 1980's.
The Dragon Teeth was part of a series of filmstrips , Monsters of the
Greek Myths, produced by Spoken Arts, Inc. My favorite part of the
story is the sowing of the dragon's teeth, a scene famously done by Ray
Harryhausen in his film "Jason and the Argonauts" were fighting
skeletons rise out of ground. Again, I'm just trying to archive and digitize these
filmstrips before the film fades. They are no longer produced, long
since replaced by video, DVD and Blu-Ray. Enjoy.
