In this 3D animated video I recreated the original cover art for the song “Steamboat Bill” from 1911. The song “Steamboat Bill” was later used as music for the “Steamboat Willie” animated short film published in 1928. I gave the song a new twist with this rock and roll version! I used Logic for the music recording and mastering, Procreate with Apple Pencil for drawing, Photoshop for coloring, Cinema 4D for modeling and animating the scenes, and Final Cut Pro for editing the video.

There is a connection between the song “Steamboat Bill” and the film “Steamboat Bill, Jr.“ Both the song and the film draw inspiration from the steamboat culture prevalent along the Mississippi River during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The song “Steamboat Bill” is a traditional American folk song that celebrates the life and adventures of steamboat pilots and workers. It originated during the heyday of steamboat travel and has been passed down through generations in various forms.
“Steamboat Bill, Jr.” is a silent comedy film directed by Charles Reisner and Buster Keaton, released in 1928. The film tells the story of William “Steamboat Bill” Canfield Jr., the son of a steamboat captain, who tries to win the heart of his love interest while dealing with various comedic mishaps, including a hurricane.
While the song and the film share the steamboat theme, they are not directly related in terms of storyline or characters. However, both reflect the cultural fascination with steamboat travel and the adventures associated with it during the early 20th century. Additionally, the film’s title likely draws inspiration from the song’s popularity and the romanticized image of steamboat life portrayed in American folk music.
