After finishing LittleFoot I was about to start on Waterlollies, when it occurred to me that it might be nice to have a Brackenwood theme tune. Since my strongest influences in music were traditional Irish folk, I thought I’d see if I could get a professional Irish folk musician interested in the job.
Suddenly as I was thinking this, “The Wake of the Medusa” by The Pogues came up in my iTunes rotation. I thought ‘what the hell’ and decided to try to contact someone from The Pogues. I found Spider Stacy’s website (he’s best known as the Pogues whistle-player) and I sent him a message. A few days later, he replied!
In short, Spider wanted to give it a shot and he gathered some friends and got to work.
I wanted about 10-20 seconds of music to use as a theme tune at the front of every Brackenwood movie. What he sent me was a full 3o½ minute SONG! I was blown away, incredibly excited and suddenly unsure of what to do. Here was this amazing piece of music but there’s no way I could edit it down to 20 seconds. No way!
So I decided to make a complete Brackenwood “episode” in the style of a music video, using the complete song. The resulting piece is ‘The Yuyu’ – an interlude between LittleFoot and Waterlollies. Enjoy!
You have GOT to give us a link or something so we can download the song! I would buy it in a heartbeat!
bitey is sooo awesome by the way can i det the music somewhere like on itunes or something??
I’ve been fallowing the series for a long time and love it. Just wish i could download it.
This was a very good episode… i have to say the music was well done and showed many different aspects to it and i loved the way you added such depth and bitey character to it!
i really enjoyed it!
bad ass
i just discovered bitey and i love already …… great work
Love your films and the Music is GREAT.
Keep up the good work
haha nice ending!
i love all brackenwood series!!!! <3
completely agree with these two fellas!
I agree. The music matched the song perfectly. I started watching it yesterday and now i cant get enough of it. and also the whole series seems like i’m watching a movie. i wish they can allow some of the best animators on newgrounds to make movies and release them on dvd’s and see how it works out. you would make some good ones if u got one on your mind.
Well, I absolutely love this particular episode.You made it a perfect match to the music (by the way I’m a new fan of the Pogues now.) and it was a thrilling experience. Believe me when I say that this piece was one of your more interesting episodes.
