For decades, kids young and old have been privy to the unusual mind of "Weird Al" Yankovic. "The Adventures of Al’s Brain," a new animated promo for alsbrain.com offers that and more – allowing Greg Kuehn of Peligro Music to unleash his own inner Al.
The alsbrain.com site promotes "Al’s Brain" – a 3-D journey through the human brain with Weird Al – which premiered at the Orange County Super Fair (July 10 – August 9, 2009) and will travel to the Puyallup Fair in September (other dates and locations TBA).
Disclaimers online state that "Al did not write or perform the song in the promo, and the ‘Al’s Brain in 3-D’ movie (which is mostly live action) bears no resemblance at all to this video." In fact, the wild, frenetic, and entertaining promo – created via The Ballpark – was animated by Animalada 3D Animation Studios, and scored by Peligro Music and Sound Design. Peligro’s Greg Kuehn crafted the music and sound design for the promo, and provided the very Al-like vocal and V.O.
"Scoring ‘The Adventures of Al’s Brain’ was a blast," says Kuehn. "The great creative team at The Ballpark was very open to my ideas about the music, and collaborating with them on this crazy journey was a lot of fun. I think we came up with a cool piece that really enhances the intensity of Animalada’s wonderful animation."
