oldie, but still grand: 2d/3d stick animation

mp4 here; wmv here; u2b here

(props to stereogum for reminding me of this...)

and here's a link to an .swf of the video of their new track "C I Am 15".

i kind of like the track, but does it warrant a post to itself...?

How'd you get the direct link to for this? Could you help me out with Coldplay's "Trouble" on the same site. Either I do not understand how to navigate that site at all, or...I don't know, some other thing.

you need a mac and safari.

click yourself through the tiresome flash stuff until the mov is loading, then open the activity window (alt-apple-a), where you'll find the direct link to the mov (you'll recognise its size).

you can do similar digging with firefox and its page info>media pane.

or did you just mean: how to get the quicktime to load? (see: i hate flash - it positively hinders the usefulness of a site...) basically you need a lot of patience for each of the flash screens to load. if i remember correctly, you need to click animation, then directors, then tim hope, then wait for the thumbnails to arrive, and then, once you've clicked the right thumbnail find the camera icon that eventually appears in the items specific window, click that and: hey presto! (ridiculously convoluted...)

I really like his work. Trouble

yeah... except Bad Day for R.E.M....

langdon - i forgot: you also need to turn off pop-up blocking for the site to work properly (wtf!! - passion: get with it...)

Thanks a lot adam/progosk. I think I was navigating the site correctly, I just kept thinking to myself that I HAD to be doing something wrong because everything was so tedious and annoying. Also I had a pop-up blocker on.
