Dave Long is an animator who created the animated menus for the Shout! Factory DVD releases of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Long's work first appeared in box set XV (15) and continued on until box set XXXIX (39) which is said to be the last of the sets of the original series released by Shout! Factory. He made the miniature puppets used in many of the DVD menus, and used computer generated graphics in all the others.
Taking lines and sound bits from the actual MST3K episodes featured in the boxed sets, he created a kind of story from the .wav files he collected from each show and strung them together to make a coherent menu ensemble featuring its own little story as a way to introduce what was to come.
