FINSTER’S “STORE WARS” MIXES TODAY!
GOOD MORNING CARTOON KATS AND KITTENS!
WE’LL TODAY IS THE DAY.
ALMOST 23 YEARS AGO TO THE MONTH, MY ORIGINAL CAL ARTS FILM, “STORE WARS” WAS MIXED.
MY ENTIRE CREATIVE LIFE HAS COME FULL CIRCLE TODAY. AMAZING.
I WANTED TO SHARE MY FEELING AND EXPERIENCE WITH YOU ALL.
ENCLOSED IS JUST A SMALL SECTION OF THE SCREEN AT ADVANTAGE AUDIO THAT SHOWS THE CREATIVE COMPLEXITY DONE BY THE BRILLIANT GEORGE NEMZER. LOOK AT THE LAYERS OF SOUND! WOW! AND THIS GOES ON FOR A LONG TIME. LASERS, EXPLOSIONS, JETS, ETC…….. ON AND ON.
AGAIN; WITH THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO GEORGE; HE WAS ABLE TO DELIVER WHAT “STORE WARS” NEEDED AND MORE.
TODAY DURING THE MIX; WE CAN DECIDE WHAT WE NEED, NOT NEED OR HEAR LESS OF.
FUNNY; I ANIMATED AND PRODUCED THE ORIGINAL 5 MINUTE “STORE WARS” ON 16MM. I SPLICED IN OVER 1000 SOUND HITS ON 5 TRACKS; NOT INCLUDING A DIALOGUE TRACK. THIS WAS MORE THAN ANY OTHER FILM PRODUCED THERE. IT TOOK ME ABOUT A MONTH TO RESEARCH AND COMPILE THE SOUND AND HAVE IT TRANSFERED TO ME ON 16MM MAG STOCK. THERE WASN’T ANY LASER EFX AVAILABLE IN THE SOUND LIBRARY SO I HIRED GARY GRAHAM; OF THE CAL ARTS MUSIC SCHOOL TO DO SYNTHESIZER SOUNDS FOR THE LASER BLASTS. TODAY; IT’S ALL STOCK. “STORE WARS” WAS BEING COMPLETED AT THE SAME TIME LUCAS’ STAR WARS SIX WAS BEING RELEASED. IRONIC.
ANYWAY; I WANTED TO THANK GEORGE NEMZER OF ADVANTAGE AUDIO FOR DOING A PAIN-STAKING, BRILLIANT JOB OF SOUND DESIGNING “STORE WARS” 2006.
THAT’S IT FOR NOW AND MAY THE ANIMATED CARTOON FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL!
YOUR CARTOON PALS…. JEFF AND THE FINSTER BOYS

Hi Mike;
At some point I would like to show the 1983 and 2006 “STORE WARS” films back to back. I don’t know when. I’ll let you know. Perhaps I’ll just ask a bunch of people if they want to watch it.
Take care Mike and I wish you all the best on your show. It looks sooooo good.
Take care buddy.
Your long time cartoon pal….. Jeff
