The Halifax Explosion Song - A movie about the explosion that nearly destroyed the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, back in 1917. It was the largest manmade explosion before the atomic bomb blast that wiped out Hiroshima. Words and music are by Halifax resident, Danny MacIntyre. I did the photo-animation in Flash.

Another early, but more upbeat video

"... musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul...any musical innovation is full of danger to the whole State, and ought to be prohibited... when modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the State always change with them."      Plato, The Republic
