Very distinctive. I just wish they had traced every 4th frame. Another win for Six Degrees Records.

"rotoscope video, traced frame by frame. www.myspace.com/cibelleblackbird

answering some questions: it's filmed, edited and then adams drew on each frame.

song by tom waits, vocals, production and percussion by cibelle, harp by serafina steer, male vocals by spleen"

A screencap..

KEV: I don't understand your 'every 4 frame' comment. Why? That would've added another layer of strobing. And goes slightly against the delicacy of the song.

Tis no surprise Waits is involved with this one. What a gorgeous song. Video is a little bit of a letdown. Considering how much work was put into this, they should've gone much much more ambitious with the visuals.

Painstaking to say the least...

Lusk: The way it is now it kind of gives me seizures, but I see what you mean.
