couldn't be happier. Working with FrogWorks (Steve) has been a
very enjoyable experience, and obviously Steve is very good at
what he does. He put a lot of thought into exactly how the video
should be put together, and produced a great product that is a
very welcome addition to my website. Steve is easy to work with
and has good ideas on how to best promote your business. He got
things done in a very timely fashion. Great! - thanks so much
Steve!" -- Bonnie Anthony, Owner - The Cat's Cottage Inn

Comedy
HEAT (14:39)
HEAT Trailer (1:03)
The Chimney (3:25)
HEAT was created from a strong desire to tell a story and use
the wonderful music of Leroy Shield. It's a romantic-comedy starring
two humane society house cats, told in the style of a silent movie.
With a running time of almost 15 minutes, HEAT asks for more attention
span than the average YouTuber is willing to commit but those
who do are rewarded. Reviewers have called it "endearing... charming... a riot... touching...
and very funny."
Raymond Scott's song "Powerhouse" was the motivating factor in
the creation of The Chimney. A storyboard and strict timeline
of the music guided its production. Steve Marcuson appears in
the role of The Chimney. [view poster]
