Review Uncommon Sense: The Art & Imagination of Nancy Willard / Direct Cinema Limited:Newbery Award-winning children's author Nancy Willard has an unusual and noteworthy way of writing new stories - she creates characters with her hands. Starting with found objects - soda cans, doorknobs, even old bones - she gently coaxes new personalities to life with glue, fabric and imagination, musing as she works until she knows what these characters want and where they are going. According to Nancy, if you know these two things, you know enough to write a story. Using a combination of puppetry, dramatic recreations and Nancy's natural gift for teaching, UNCOMMON SENSE traces this chain of inspirations up to the issue of Nancy's latest book, THE MOON & RIDDLES DINER AND THE SUNNYSIDE CAFÉ, and makes tangible the ways that whimsy, play and memory form the seeds of new characters for this gifted and versatile artist.

Review Flying an Octopus - Raising Balloon Art to New Heights / Tim Bayer Productions:3 member team of balloon artists, an eight member flight crew, and countless community members were needed to launch the first ever piloted latex balloon sculpture. Nearly 20,000 animal balloons were twisted together by the hand-picked team of artists from around the US and Canada to create the Fantastic Flying Octopus. Several thousand people showed up to watch the construction and launch of the craft, powered by the wind and 10,000 cubic feet of helium. Challenges to be overcome included building the sculpture in a barn with a gravel floor and launching in the afternoon sun, both of which are natural enemies of balloons. Approximately 700 person hours went into the construction of the octopus over 5 days to complete the project before the first balloons deflated. This first collaboration between pilot John Ninomiya and artist Larry Moss was a success. The entire week-long project, from the inflation of the first balloon through the successful launch and landing of the sculpture and pilot can be seen in this documentary. In addition to the hour-long documentary, 45 minutes of instructional video is included to teach the art of large scale twisted balloon sculpture for those interested in exploring the art in a hands-on fashion.
