VIDEO DISCUSSION: Porky's Party Final vs Storyboard Drawings [Side by Side Comparison]
my newest video showcases the removal of Gabby Goat and Petunia Pig in the 1938 cartoon "Porky's Party". the idea for this video stems back to about or exactly a year ago when i was producing a finished-but-scrapped video titled something along the lines of "Every Time Gabby Goat appeared in LT Media". when making that video i found out that he was slated to have another golden age appearance with surviving storyboard drawings, so i lazily downloaded all the images [including deleted scenes] and put them while looping a section of "Gee But You're Swell" for the regular paced moments and "Black Coffee" for the chase -- quicker paced -- scenes, both from "Porky and Gabby". i'd always wanted to return to the idea of that at least but i had no idea how, until it just came upon me "why don't i just make a side by side?", an' so i did.
now to talk about the main meat and potatoes of the video! as i stated before, the video mainly focuses on Gabby and Petunia rather than the whole cartoon. the reasons for this are obvious to some, but i'll still spell them out here. the first and main reason i did not do the full cartoon was for fear of Warner Bros. taking the video down, since it would be copyright infringement. this reason has been stated in the description. the second reason is just, well, i really have a soft spot for Gabby! sure he's irritable, loudmouthed and rude, and pretty much just a Donald Duck clone, but that's what i love about him! and also i like goats. Petunia is also another personal favorite character of mine, it's her [and Porky and Daffy's too, my favorite duo they are!] movie that got me REALLY into Looney Tunes, and she had a lot of potential that I hope to see explored better in the future.
the technical details are something i'd like to discuss as well, i've credited sources in the description including the account @artoflooneytunes [i hope tagging you is not an issue! if it is i severely apologize], which i REALLY recommend you check out some of the stuff on that page if you're into production material as much as i am.
the song used is "Something Tells Me" performed by Victor Silvester and His Orchestra. a personal favorite song of mine! in terms of Carl W. Stalling, it was first used in "Porky & Daffy" and later in "A-Lad-In Bagdad" and finally in "The Daffy Doc". i chose the song as a second option, i was originally to use "Shanghai Shuffle" with the final gong sound to sync up with the penguin being hit by the goose with a mallet. issues with this song arose as i extended the time to have some more scenes included for comparison, and eventually it became too much so i searched out a new option. i was inspired to use a song related to LT from Derek S.'s Bob Clampett animation reel, and the first song that came to mind was "Something Tells Me". the recording i used fits perfectly too!
well, that's just all about i've got to ramble about today. why don't you give the video a watch now? i think you should at least be compensated for listening to me ramble for even a minute. and also happy late birthday to Clampett! i didn't wanna release this video yesterday even though i knew it was his birthday.
if you wish to suggest a video idea, be it like this one or not, feel free to send me it! alrighty, that's all. c-ya next time!
