My pick of this week is GWYNETH AND STEVE, airing at Countingdown.com. This toon is yet another of the batch of programming that was to appear on DreamWork's now defunct POP.com project. The story is written and narrated by Steve Martin and is a very humorous tale of how he desires to have a baby with Gwyneth Paltrow, however the difficulty lies in the fact that they have never really met. The voice-over is very subtle and witty. The humor is not a beat-you-over-the-head style, but has a more subversive, dry tone. The Internet gives talent like Martin a chance to experiment and the money-saving Flash software lengthens the boundaries of what can be done.
