Sally's work includes the 1975 short film Quasi at the Quackadero, 1978's Make Me Psychic, and 1987's Face Like a Frog, featuring music by Danny Elfman. She has created the opening title sequences to films Ruthless People, Mannequin, Loverboy, Madhouse, and Smiley Face, and animated and produced many music videos and animations for children's television show Sesame Street from 1989-1999.
