All this talk about stop motion has to do with Globalburger`s second episode, which features a wonderful animated short, Echoes of Bats and Men, by Jo Dery. For me, her film is similar to the style and quality of the children`s programs I grew up with, including the Sesame Street shorts, parts of Reading Rainbow, and the series Long Ago and Far Away, hosted by James Earl Jones. Like those shows, Jo`s film has appeal for anyone ages 1 on up, with its interesting history lesson about Providence, beautiful artistic style, and engaging story. I first saw this film projected on a wall with Jo`s old 16mm projector clacking away at the back of the room. If you ever get a chance to meet Jo, ask her if she is ever going to show it again from it`s native 16mm format, as it is an awesome experience. If it were possible, I am sure that she would travel across the country projecting it for viewers on clothesline sheets, living room walls, or anything else flat enough. Since this is unfortunately not the case, I am pleased to present the digital format that Jo so graciously has let me share with you.

This karate instructor has his students hold two bats and then attempts to break them with a kick. He fails on the first attempt which has got to hurt like hell. His adrenaline kicks in though and he quickly breaks them on the second attempt.
