Meanwhile, have a PEEP at some embedded-videos from the "Visions Of Frank"-DVD - which I've posted before, but seems folks don't like to backtrack, hence (and while I do not necessarily endorse the act of duplication, I cannot help but share :p) ... the DVD has since been sold-out on Jim's online-store - altho I'd recommend you track it down if you can (if you do not own it already), becoz it NEEDS to be seen in hi-res DVD-quality to fully appreciate, and becoz it is simply awesome, IMHO.

"VISIONS OF FRANK collects 8 wild Frank animations made by some of Japan's most innovative and idiosyncratic filmmakers: Taruto Fuyama, Eri Yoshimura,art unit COCOA,DROP INC., Masaki Naito,Kanako Kawaguchi, Naomi Nagata. Each piece is an interpretation of a classic Frank comic and is scored by musicians from Japan and the USA. The films run the gamut of animation techniques: 3DCG, paper craft, clay, iron sand and traditional cel 2D. These original and imaginative expressions present anew the world of JW as seen through each filmmaker's eyes. For each animation, you are able to choose between the original music and the newly composed music by other musicians. Participating musicians include James McNew (from Yo La Tengo), The Coctails, Dame Darcy, Kicell, Milk Yabe, and others. Comes with 16-page booklet with a reprinted Frank comic and introductions to the animators and musicians. As a bonus Woodring's own animated WHIM-GRINDER is included, with a live soundtrack composed and recorded by Bill Frisell at a performance of Mysterio Simpatico. Total time: 45:38" [via]
