Back in the second half of the 1980's Donald Fagen wrote the music to three short films directed by Jane Aaron; Traveling Light, Set In Motion and This Time Around. The connection being that Jane's brother Peter had been at Bard College at the same time as Donald and Walter Becker.
(And if anyone should happen to know where we can see Traveling Light and This Time Around do not hesitate to add a comment or get in touch via radiodupreeATyahooDOTse.)

Wow...interesting video. :-)
Yep. We're kinda partial to those pre-computer shorts of creativity like stop motion or painting directly on the film. Donald's music is - of course - an added bonus. According to the Brian Sweet Steely Dan book Donald wrote the music while watching the film.
Now, if only somebody somewhere could share the other two films!
