Animusic
Fuller’s birthday is coming up. In fact, his birthday weekend is the same weekend that we will be traveling in October, again, back to Lake Martin!
We aren’t big on putting together birthday parties that he won’t really remember, but we are big on cake (or cupcakes) and spoiling him a little with a present or two.
Damon keeps bringing up something he thinks is the “perfect” gift for Fuller’s birthday. No, not Powell furniture (that would be for my birthday, if I wasn’t going to Vegas). Damon thinks Fuller would really get into having either one or both of the Animusic DVDs.
The PBS stations show clips of Animusic on Sunday mornings, and sometimes you can catch the entire DVD during fundraising time. When Fuller sees it, he loves watching and dancing to the music. I think some of the animation is a bit freaky, especially the pogo stick ones. But it is something Fuller would like. So you know, grandparents, aunties, take note.
Caleb and I saw one of those clips yesterday for the first time. my first thought was “what the heck is going on?” pretty cool. Caleb, as usual when in front of the screen, stared in amazement.
they should do a website where you could upload your own (non-annoying) midi file and have it do its thing. that would be way cool.
