THE BACKSTORY~

WAY BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 1979~ GALLERY OWNER ROBERT OPEL ASKED ANIMATION ARTIST~ DAN SMITH~ TO CREATE ANIMATION OF THE FEY WAY LOGO~ THAT OF A QUEENIE KING KONG CARRYING A SQUEALING "FEY WAY,", (FAY RAY) OTOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. 

DAN COMPLETED THE ANIMATION, BUT NEVER HEARD FROM ROBERT AGAIN. THAT IS BECAUSE ON JULY 7TH, 1979 OPEL WAS MURDERED AT FEY WAY STUDIOS. 

FOR 35 YEARS THIS  16MM FOOTAGE SAT IN DAN'S OFFICE. I AM HAPPY TO TELL MY DEAR READERS THAT ANTEBELLUM NOW HAS THIS FOOTAGE AS PART OF THE CURRENT EXHIBITION~ ROBERT OPEL: THE RES~ERECTION OF FEY WAY STUDIOS.
