Here’s one from the archives; the “Fat Cat Stomp,” thanks to Cakewalk, the Disney Afternoon Songbook (for easy piano), and a dull afternoon back in the early 2000s.
Disneyland Parking Garage
Disneyland was just opening up this new parking garage when I was leaving, and dear God, but it was massive.
Observatron at night
The Observatron in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, with the Matterhorn in the background.

I think I had the camera propped up on my backpack for this one….
The Disneyland carousel at night
This was the shot the really got me into the idea of night photography.
Photos and Photoshop
The photos used here were taken as I was, indeed, leaving my shift at Disneyland, and really liked how the rising sun was reflecting off of the wet surroundings.

This is actually a shot from Tomorrowland at Disneyland, looking up that opening spire.
Here it is — the first music video I edited together for an animation series. “The Stylophonia,” by Two Little Boys, using scenes from “Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers.”
What I first most amusing about this one is that I actually edited this together using an VHS to VHS editing deck. This is back when you needed two monitors and had to assemble the video pretty much one clip after the other, as there was no way to shuffle up and down the timeline as we can do today. Considering the number of cuts I had to make, it was quite a bit of a learning curve.
It’s also a bit scary to realize that I made this over a decade ago.
After listening to George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone,” it struck me that it really seemed to be talking about Negaduck. Mind you, this was when I was deeply immersed in the Disney Afternoon culture, so I probably could have drawn parallels between Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor and the Junior Woodchucks. Nevertheless, I thought the music video I edited together worked pretty well, at least in that I still enjoy watching it today.
Music video I made for Megavolt of the “Darkwing Duck” series, to the tune of “Go Away” by Gloria Estefan. Not really much of a reason behind the music choice; I just really liked the idea of matching up each horn hit with a shot of someone getting fried.
The song is from a cassette single I had, so yeah, not in the best quality.
