Listen "Craig Small - Making Music Look Amazing"
Episode Synopsis
Craig Small is an award-winning visual artist, director, and animator. A co-founder of The Juggernaut Productions, Craig is constantly inventing unique and striking ways to creatively present ideas. His work is highly sought after by A-list corporate clients, broadcasters, and production houses. Nominated for two Emmy Awards for his film title designs, Craig has worked with internationally-renowned design houses, animators, and filmmakers, in addition to bands such as The Sadies, the Tragically Hip, The Beaches, and the Barenaked Ladies, and musicians such as Ron Sexsmith, Michael Bublé, and Dan Mangan. Although not a musician by trade, Craig is officially the 4th member of Don Kerr’s indie band Communism, for which he conceives dynamic and compelling live visuals. A self-proclaimed "retro-mechanical nerd", Craig's work rides the line between the digital and mechanical realms. His creative outputs exist in a world that embraces both the past and future of imagery, machinery, music, and the written word - work that has gained the attention and admiration of people such as Jack White, Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Mark Maron, and David Byrne.More about Craig and his work:The Juggernaut ProductionsCraig Small - websiteCommunism promo videoCommunism Side Door LivestreamDan Mangan's Show to NobodyThe Dan Mangan ZoetropeJack White demos the LiterariumCarmine Street Guitars (Trailer) Bo Diddley Zoetrope David Byrne ZoetropeKenk a Graphic Portrait (Pop Sandbox)Inside Kenk: A TVO Original DocumentarySong samples in this episode:"Weakness is Strength" - Communism (Get Down Get Together, 2016)"These Days" - Ron Sexsmith (Cobblestone Runway, 2002)"Love in Your Heart" (Love Speech, 2023) Support the showMUSIC BUDDY IS:Jane Gowan (host, producer, editor) ; Tim Vesely (co-producer)The show's theme song, "Human Stuff," is written by Jane Gowan and Tim Vesely, and performed by Jane and Tim, with additional vocals by Steve Wright and Connie Kostiuk STAY IN TOUCH Email: [email protected]: @musicbuddypodcastFacebook: @musicbuddypodcastBluesky: @musicbuddy.bsky.socialTikTok: @musicbuddypodThis podcast is brought to you by Morning Run Productions.
