City Television was an animated adult television feature based
on the satirical stylings created in Culture Canada, Radio Savoy,
and Redmond Radio Revival. Don Bergland and Colin Yardley deconstructed
the main features of Redmond Radio Revival and recomposed them
as a hard-edged animated television feature which presented
an unusual psychological dimension called “Savoy.”
Savoy referred to a psychological dimension of perception that
had been evolving in their work. It was an unusual modern condition
that had the story inhabitants living their lives with passionate
intensity directed towards strange self-destructive obsessions.
This state of existence was showcased in Savoy City through
small integrated vignettes featuring a host of characters such
as Rocko Delgado, Figwina Applebaum, and Reverend Norm. The
project was sponsored and supported by Vancouver-based ETI Entertainment
Technologies Inc. who developed animated prototypes for the
series. The television proposal was entertained by WIC Television
Network for over a 2-year period. The project explored a wide
variety of draft innovations and worked with some of the top
animation houses in the Pacific Northwest. |
