Our latest brand creation is that of an Earth-conscious preschool program called Mr. Furry Fur Fur and His Friendly Earth Friends. Everything from Character Design to the Web site’s look & feel, we’ve brought this adorable raccoon and his friends to life! We’ve also taken into consideration the DVD packaging which has been made using 100% recycled material and vegetable based inks.

music video
This clip is from episode 1 "Tree's Birthday." Mr. Furry Fur Fur, the adorable raccoon puppet star, sings about why trees are important. They are his friends!
Ingaldson-Smith Productions handled all aspects required for the creation of this video and catchy song.
Pete's Gadget Session
a tiny tale from the first DVD
Here is a short taken from the "Tiny Tales" portion of the first DVD. Specific items to note are that the music was composed by Tony Smith, the character voice of Flower was performed by Christine Ingaldson, and the announcer voice was performed by Tony Smith.
Flutter - Dolls Like Me
Christine's main musical project since 1996 is both a persona and melodic expression called Flutter.
"Dolls Like Me" is the title of her third album from 2007. Since this release Flutter has been quietly working on new music when she is not handling the demands of a puppet raccoon star.
Tony Smith produced, directed, shot, and edited this video.

Music Video for Electronic/Metal band Cyanotic
We created this video for Cyanotic using footage they use in there live show for this song and live footage of the band.
A juxtaposition of our varied artistic styles can be distinctly seen and heard through our video work.
We produce cute, positive, safe
entertainment for children with the ability to switch focus towards fabricating an industrial post-apocalyptic wasteland for adults. It is all about balance, something that comes from how we view life, experiencing both victories and challenges.
Types of projects we take on:
Children's DVD and Music videos
Music videos
Electronic music and soundscapes are our specialty. As seasoned electronic musicians we compose,
steadily actualizing, digital arrangements to fit a variety of moods and expressions. Over the years it has been essential to evolve not only with changes in software but to uphold literacy of music trends and techniques. This can be a seemingly daunting task in an age of information overload. Despite everything, we seem to find a way to make that fresh alteration.
A dynamic part of any page, this component can contain any type of media:
images, text and more, and have its own menu attached.
To add media simply drag and drop them into a Mini Page page.
Note:
If you only want to display photos, use Galleries > Photo Albums.

It is not the strangest thing ever for one to need formatting of long documents, as well as professional office documents, in Word. A purist Graphic Designer may
dismiss Microsoft Word
as a valued design tool, but we understand that many businesses cannot afford to purchase or train in software such as Adobe InDesign. At Ingaldson-Smith Productions we do have Adobe InDesign skills to assist you with your projects, but we often find ourselves speaking to clients in need of layout in Word. You have come to the perfect place!
Whether it's a form, brochure, training manual, screenplay, or long book, we can handle it. In fact, we've found ourselves creating business cards, CD covers, you-name-it, all within Word. To us there is no strange request because we've probably already tried it ourselves.
Additionally, many companies need to follow a style guide, often only using approved, specific fonts. Not only can we follow your company's style guide in meticulous detail but we can also create a style guide just for you.
Types of documents we format:
Microsoft PowerPoint is widely used by business people, educators, students, and trainers and is among the most prevalent forms of
persuasive technology.
Often PowerPoint is not used to its potential and you may have just cringed thinking about it. Regardless of how you feel about it, it is very crucial to many businesses.
You'll be glad to know that one of our specialties is expert knowledge in PowerPoint and I don't just mean functionality. We understand what happens when too much stuff is on a slide and how to break up this information beautifully amongst additional slides. Imagery, especially consistent imagery, is essential in conveying an idea to your audience. A pleasant color palette and easy to read text also make for a happier viewing. In the past, we have dealt with requests for exuberant amounts of slides for an individual presentation, so nothing is too large or scary a task for us to take on. However, we'll often ask for you to consider tough editing. Think about your audience. You don't want them yawning.
