Todd should know. It's about him, and should be worth waiting for.
Todd?

Looks a great treat in store,,,,but where does Simon Lovell fit in? I was not aware that Simon ever did Sideshow when he was a UK res!
Ken. BTW we both wrote for the Magic Mag (Way back)When I had a hair or two and I remember his entertaining routines with close up. |

Simon is a pretty good friend of Todd's, and since a lot of the documentary focuses on Todd's shows......
He's one of the most delightful wackos I know!

Hello All
My Name is Jordan I worked on the film As VFX supervisor. here are some answers to your questions. American Carny does not have an offical release date in the US, but there are plans for a screening in New York city. I am hoping it will be soon. any info on Music or who else worked on it can be found here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0429572/fullcredits I learned a lot about the carny / sideshow/ magic world working on this picture and all of it very interesting. I hope you all enjoy the final picture when it is finally released. also below is a link to the movies poster done by one of the artists who work with me named Mike Pappa. http://www.mikepappa.com/gallery/display......mp;pos=4 cheers Jordan |

I'm sorry that I have been missing in action for a while here. The seance show has taken up a great deal of time. Add to that some other committments and having to oversee things out Coney Island way last weekend due to Dick Zigun's broken shoulder, and you can see why I have not visited here lately.
As for American Carny, I just saw it for the first time on Wednesday. It's amazing what Nick has done with all of the footage he has taken. It is a great overview of the current sideshow scene. I think everyone in the film will be please. I am humbled by how much of it is structured as a tribute to me. I feel pressured to do something truly great so I can be worthy of this film. And I better be careful and not do something stupid that will make the whole thing seem like a joke. As for the release, it has been submitted to several film festivals. As soon as Nick knows what is going on with them, he will work on the release of the movie. Stay tuned. One more thing about the movie. There is a lot of footage of Coney Island in the film. This is great as the landscape will be very different out there very soon. It is possible that this last Monday was the last day of Coney Island as we know it. And one more last thing. Much of the music in the film was composed specifically for American Carny. This includes the tune on the website. A CD of the music will be made and I think you will all want it as it truly evokes the world of the sideshow. |

Oh, and one more last thing before the next last thing. The visual fx in the film will blow you away. Jordan, were you the one that did the magic with the freak photos and the Coney Island postcards? Seeing this stuff brought tears to my eyes.
What was done was to take photos of famous freaks and shot of Coney Island and make them come alive. There is a 3D quality about them and animation that is a fantasy come true. You get a glimpse of it on the trailer at the American Carny website, but in the film it goes so much future. It's just breathtaking! |

What are they going to do with Coney Island?
Not flatten it I hope! Ken. |

JwsXSI, thanks for all of the info!
Todd, any idea on when the CD will be out? I'm simply dying to hear the rest of it! So it would appear that all of the Coney rumors have been true. Hmmm, I'm just not sure how to feel about all of this. As of now will the sideshow being staying intact? Cheers, -Matt (TK) |

Hello all & Todd
I am one of the minds behind the efx magic, but the true credit goes to Ricky Weissman. He did the bulk of the shoots you are talking about. Also 2 or three clips where animated by Mike Pappa. you can view his work on mikepappa.com Todd I am sure we will meet someday when Amercian Carny Shows In NYC. When we do I shall introduce the rest of my Crew. Its been a true honor to work on the project with Nick and have loved watching it develope over the last year. Take Care Jordan |
