Great video: Widget

Posted: June 29th, 2007 | Author: Dan Misener | Filed under: CBC, video | 3 Comments »

I’m not usually one to post videos, but today, via the Radio3 blog, I found a great short by Nathan Fielder. It’s called Widget, and it’s hosted on the new Exposure site.

The scripting and pacing reminds me so much of my favourite cartoon, Home Movies.


Conceptually, I liked ZeD, but found the execution and quality hit-or-miss. I’m keen to see how Exposure pans out for CBC  when it launches in July.

    I thought exactly the same thing!

    If you loved Home Movies… you need to check out Brendon Small’s latest endeavor, Metalocalypse.

    And also Frisky Dingo, though I think he may have only been involved as a creative consultant.

    This is SO Dr. Katz.
    I wish I could find that show on DVD!

    @John, thanks for passing the links along. I couldn’t get the Glath movies to work, but I did some looking around, and discovered that Metalocalypse Season One will be released on DVD this October, so I’ll pick it up then. Thanks again.

    @Tom, absolutely. I own season one of Dr. Katz on DVD, and I think the first two seasons have been released. Check it out: http://amazon.ca/s/ref=sr_nr_i_2/701-4638003-6459558?ie=UTF8&rs=&keywords=dr.%20katz&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Adr.%20katz%2Ci%3Advd
