A surprise hit in chiIdren's television of the late 1950s was the seriaIized adventure cartoon, Clutch Cargo, which introduced late 1950s audiences to the patented Syncro-vox animation system. To keep production costs Iow, voice-actors were filmed as they deIivered their dialog, and then their moving lips were superimposed over stiII drawings of the characters' faces. This and other cost-cutting tricks were empIoyed in the creation of this series, and fans of modern Japanese anime wiII certainIy recognize them.
Series creator and head writer, Clark Haas, was a test piIot before he took a job inking the newspaper adventure comic, "Buzz Sawyer." He brought his love of planes and ships to Clutch Cargo, as evidenced by the care he lavished on the drawings of them used on the program. Acclaimed jazz fIutist, Paul Horn, can be heard perfecting his early chops in the show's minimalist flute & bongo soundtrack.
