This is an updated trailer for the documentary previously titled "Raymond Scott--On To Something" a biographical documentary about the 20th century musician, composer, and inventor whose musical career included the swing era, electronica, and everything in between, including use of his music in Warner Brothers Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies.

Great, yet another documentary for me to spend the rest of my life wanting to see...
I wish there was some video archives of raymond using the Electronium.... I want to watch him composing and performing on the machine very badly!
Hey, had lost this so sorry for the delay in approving. I liked On To Something too, but decided to change it for family reasons--it's complicated. And I wanted audiences to understand it was a film by a son (or daughter) about their father, and as my Dad built (constructed) so many things and had an engineer's mind, deconstructing seemed appropriate for him. And I like artful appropriate alliteration--which I hope this is!
Amazing documentary. Had the pleasure of seeing it screened by the director, in DC.
That last piece at the end is genius! Hope you get this film out soon!
Definitely want to see this !
Years ago I had the idea of how great it would be to have a documentary of Raymond Scott done in Rotoscope with audio interviews animated!! -The sheer irony and originality of that would blow everyone away.
But it's probably beyond the means of all but the big players (Rotoscoping being so time consuming and labor intensive).
But I can't wait to see the film you as you've made it (and make all my friends and family see it too).
Thank you.
I definitely want to see this DVD.
Can''t wait to see this film.
can you let me know when you're ready to release it? i'd absolutely love to see this. more than words can describe.
Hey, thanks for your interest, I'm not quite at the stage of being ready to release the DVD, though the film is essentially finished. Trying to move through the festival circuit first, though I am planning to release the DVD sometime this year.
Stan Warnow
@emilshere--I wish there were too! In the film there is a sequence where you can hear some audio that is that process, and there is a layered photo animation sequence that goes along with that....
Most excellent! Can't for it to hit San Louis Obispo....I hope.
Now I'm in the mood to stuff as much Raymond Scoot into my MP3 player before I take off to New Orleans for a week.
Thanks very much for sharing this. I hope to see Stan Warnow in Albuquerque this weekend.
“An enthralling film that tells the story of a truly pivotal figure in 20th-century music whose madly eclectic achievements remain largely obscure. An essential view inside the wonders of creative genius, American-style.”
-LA WEEKLY
@AcidDreaming Sorry for the delayed reply, but that tune is Baltimore Gas and Electric--it's on the Manhattan Research CD set, track 3, Disc 1. There are several versions on the 2 CD's in the set....
I need to see this! Is there a master list of showings anywhere? Great great work!
@SJW611 FANTASTIC! Thanks for the info; I'll add it to the Christmas list. And thanks to whomever's responsible for having the decency to make it region-free. Can't wait to see it!
Much RESPECT ^_^
Here's what LEONARD MALTIN had to say about this documentary:
A fascinating look at a musical genius and the way he lived his life. Stan Warnow allows us to share his journey of discovery as he pieces together the story of his father. I thoroughly enjoyed it.''
Not sure if I'm understanding but at 15 seconds from the start it is a picture of Raymond Scott, one of a series of him that's around that time...Hope this anserws your question!
Are you hoping for an international realease? im from the UK. Looks amazing.
@MrChirpsky Sorry for the delayed reply, but there is one original animation sequence that was made for the film--it was donated by animator Scott SanGiacomo. I would have liked to do more, but as you point out animation (and rotoscoping) are expensive and time consuming.
THE WIRE magazine: "A bittersweet paean to his late father... The director has taken great pains assembling a visual and aural composite of his subject. The insights afforded by Raymond Scott's own son add shades of intrigue and pathos not found in the average music documentary."
What's the song that starts at 3:28?
THE ELECTRONIUM!
@aliceboy Sorry for the delayed reply but....it is available on DVD now: go to scottdoc (dot) com/dvd
Definitely want to see this !
