FRANK ZAPPA & THE ORIGINAL MOTHERS OF INVENTION
As filmed by ED SEEMAN
1967-1968
"I first met Frank when He was playing a steady gig at the Garrick Theater in Greenwich Village. I hired him to score a 30 second animated TV commercial I was animating and producing FOR LUDEN'S COUGH DROPS. He requested $2,000 plus a studio for a day with a wide variety of instruments plus a guy to do cough sounds.
The Spot was called "THE BIG SQUEEZE" It won a CLIO for "BEST USE OF SOUND" in 1967 and is mentioned in the recent release
FRANK ZAPPA The Lost Episodes #19

CLICK ON THIS TITLE TO SEE THE AWARD WINNING THREE MINUTE OPENING TO MY 40 MINUTE FILM DVD
AAAAFTER WE FINISHED SHOOTING AND EDITING THIS 3 MINUTE FILM WE DECIDED TO COLLABORATE ON A LONG TERM PROJECT HE CALLED
UNCLE MEAT
For the next 13 months I filmed him and the group at the Garrick Theater in Greenwich Village, New York, at home with Gail and Baby Moon and at various events as well as their Trips to London and Amsterdam.
Since their seemed to be no end to the film I eventually sold the 14 hours of footage to Zappa which he used in many of his later releases.
Out of this footage I created a 40 minute Film which he gave me permission to show at Film Festivals and Non Commercial events.
After 40 years of trying to get the Zappa Family to release this historic film I decided to release it on my own by making individual prints and selling it to Zappa fans around the world.
