I got that damn Log Driver's Waltz song stuck in my head today. Does anybody know of a link that has the entire National Filmboard animated vignette of the song? This is an itch that needs to be scratched.

This isn't the complete thing, but I think it's the best you're going to get.

Not sure if you had found it on the NFB site...

Chris Landreth’s oscar winning film "Ryan" is a biography short of Canadian animator Ryan Larkin, (himself Oscar nominated for Walking), now reduced to panhandling by drug addiction. You might like to know that this Ryan is the same Ryan that single handedly animated the "Log Drivers Waltz" by painting each frame with the almost impossible to control water color... it was a truely amazing feet.

It makes me feel warm to see that people still appreciate his work.

That's always been one of my favourites too. :D

Not to be picky... but did anyone else notice that it's only at the end that he's birling correctly? ;)


It's been so long since I've seen it... didn't it end with a real log driver, instead of a cartoon?

Those vignettes are one of those childhood memories that come back to haunt me every once in a while... I posted a thread a few months ago on the very same subject.
