John Ramirez & Paul Tracey

Every Picture Tells a Story - Shows the process of working with a creative team as they take an idea and develop it into a storyboard sequence. The project begins with a musical composition, Turbo Power, featured on the audio recording (along with two other pieces). In the video, you see a telescoped version of the full creative team process illustrated by both live action sequences, leading to the final storyboard accompanied by the music.

Paul Tracey

International Troubadour - My Family Home and The Immigrant Song are based on Paul Tracey’s experiences in his homelands. My Family Home is a nostalgic, lilting, melody about returning to the family home in South Africa. The lyrics skillfully paint a picture of well-remembered sights, sounds, and even smells of the countryside. The chorus is sung in the Fanagalo language. The song conveys the spirit of the composer who revels in the culture of the people and the land. The Immigrant Song, from the show “The Great Briton,” portrays an immigrant, like Paul, who prefers to “live my life in the good old U.S.A.”
