From WW: National Geographic
Notice anything familiar about the cover of this month's issue of National Geographic? (Hint: it features someone who has appeared on this blog.)
This past October, WW spent several days in the studio with Penny, Flo, Candy and Bobbin, working to get just the right shot. He reflects on the experience in this video (and if you haven't seen the cover yet, you will here):

Fay's Twelve Days of Christmas
Last week, we began posting clips from Fay's Twelve Days of Christmas on our Facebook page. Here, WW remembers making the video...
The Twelve Days of Christmas features Fay and three of her offspring, Chundo, Batty and Crooky, playing the archetypal American family of four. This video also introduces Buster, a Boston terrier, as Fay's own dog.
This video is anchored around the weimaraner numbers in much the same way as Alphabet Soup was with the dog alphabet. To this day I get questions about how I trained the dogs to fall into the letter and number shapes so perfectly, a secret I am happy to share with anyone...but not now.
A significant departure from my earlier videos was the degree to which we used outside help. Jeff Smith from Boston designed and built Santa's workshop and Fay's house, and my sister Pam from Maine designed and constructed the elf costumes.
Some of you have written to me curious about my my musical background. I'm self taught! I wrote and performed all the songs in the video (while in the shower).
Happy holidays!
-- WW
