Claymation is a tedious process. Watch Robot Chicken’s extras DVD and you’ll see just how long it takes to shoot something. Chaisaw Maid is well thought out and a very clever application of the artform. Some serious storyboard skills going on, and it’s executed very well. The ending was a bit stupid, but let’s put [...]

Meaningful song makes for a beautiful animated video
August 4, 2008 – 4:07 am
The Flobots’ music video is quite the eye-opener. A great example of how art and music go hand-in-hand. The band went all the way with this illustrative style too, with USA bandanna-ridden dudes on the album cover. Love the message.

Converse commercial has a papery look
August 3, 2008 – 7:17 pm
Paper cut outs dancing around? Cool. Converse has always been about grungy cut-and-paste, so this video is on brand, yet it’s done in a clean enough way to compete with an Apple commercial. The song is ‘My Drive Thru’ by Santogold, Julian Casablancas and N.E.R.D.
Typography in motion: The rules of Fight Club
July 4, 2008 – 5:14 pm
I’m a sucker for motion typography. This one is especially well-done, and it keeps the grunginess of Fight Club.
B-Boying Roots May Lie in Russia
June 8, 2008 – 12:50 pm
Though may have officially began in the Bronx, one can see that even something so original and impressive as breakdancing has been conceived long before Kool Herc picked up a mic. Anyways, this video proved very entertaining to me, and there are some interesting similarities to both the moves and the culture going on here.
Insane Illustrator Screenshot Animation
June 7, 2008 – 11:38 am
Chad Pugh is a crazy guy with crazy illustrator chops. He took a screenshot every couple of seconds while doing up this massive image. Looking at the final project, however, I’m thinking “Where’s the work?” All the little details disappear when zoomed out. Oh well, if anything, it’s an overview of different techniques in illustrator, [...]
“You can’t handle a big logo.”

Forget the out-of-sync voice-over; they sound enough like Tom and Jack. This brilliant video, titled ‘A Few Good Creative Men’ hits home. This kind of thing, I’ve heard, has been going on for decades with no end in sight. Fortunately, most of the account people I’ve worked with know what they’re doing.
Hang drum? Yes, please.

Very cool instrument. Gotta love the ghetto egg carton acoustic decor. I was going to do that to my room before, but then I hit a dead-end wondering where I was going to find a chicken farm.
Actually, I am the Orginal Design Gangsta
June 5, 2008 – 2:10 pm
This is a facetious video of designer Kyle Webster rapping about graphic design. I get it, i get it. My only gripe is when he’s cruising by the Graphic Design greats and it doesn’t include Neville Brody or David Carson. Boo. This guy is for real though. Check out his website; he’s got some dope [...]
Mac OS Music Video Wreaks of Effort
May 14, 2008 – 1:02 pm
Innovation at its best. Dennis Aliu has taken the time and effort to create a music video solely on the Mac OS desktop. Apparently, it took three months for him to create, and the song is so repetitive, that it’s probably implanted in his head for life after making this; cute girl, though. By the [...]
