I remember starting this, getting frustrated at the attempted drawn "dissolves" and even more disappointed in the effect of the chemical tint I was attempting on the Super 8mm master footage. So I cut it, but stuffed the 70 drawings into an envelope, into a box, into another box, at the bottom of yet another box. So I tried it again. A registration nightmare (couldn't afford a paper punch at the time), somewhat corrected by Photoshop today. For "Good Garbage" in 1973, which used Tri-X stock because Ektachrome was sooo pricey. Ah those days of saving for college. About 10 seconds, silent (I only added the sound stripe after editing, another logistical nightmare - the soundstriping didn't like my splicing tape, so every cut had to be redone after that). Impossible things before breakfast ...
Here lies the residue of "The Animating Apothecary," a source of obscure ephemera and thought, created fresh(ish), but now reduced to howling into the wind, sketching in sand, and nibbling at the crustier extremes of an overbaked society.
