PNAU "Baby" (Dir. James Littlemore)
This'll be one of 2008's most blogged about bands. Their latest album is incredibly solid.
The video's a little flimsy, but it gets the job done.
best use of ghost costume since Frontier Psychiatrist.
Overall i find this song and video very nauseating. However I do like the combination of live action and stopmotion but referring this in anyway to frontier psychiatrist is offensive.
really clean, polished work. a crazy idea, but it works.
had to re-brush my teeth after that. (why's it break off so?)
ditto progosk. i was all caught up in the gooey goodness of the whole thing when it jarringly ended like that. what gives, pnau?
Reminds me of that freshmint TVC (cant remember the name exactly) with similar little CG food characters following people around.
One would think with the incredible sound spawned from the gifted Pnau collective, an incredible promo would accompany such an anthemic track, but to my shocked discovery I suddenly saw this! Why is it that so often quality music just keeps finding the wrong pair of hands to craft its image? Working in the UK, I have been hearing quite a bit of these guys lately and am sure they will prosper very well here. I wouldn't doubt for a second that this clip would be remade in a heartbeat to cater for an international audience. I have seen some real quality come from the shores of Australia, but unfortunately this one doesn't join the nest. One of the biggest anti-climax moments I've experienced with a video. This track offered so much potential to be something memorable for the small screen, but now my attention awaits Pnau's next installment. I just hope they can re-build after this pitiful effort for a promo.
I agree with vedgal, an absolute travesty. A real shame, its a fine track too. Does anybody know which hack directed this?

why all the haters? this was an annoying track but a pretty awesome weirdass video.
Let em have a spray its the way of things.
Haters? No, more like constructive criticism - this is just plain BAD not worthy of a detailed explanation. And to discover its source of inspiration was a chewing gum tvc, well what more can I say?
To answer your question gatzby it seems like this hack could be this littlemore character as pointed out by vidbot. Obviously a relative of one half of Pnau. No evidence on the site as yet apart from a mention.
Littlemore directed it.
No love for siblings here at the 'ville...
:(
Not exactly as cute as Billy Blackberry, Sally Strawberry, Dick Turnip and the rest of The Munch Bunch. Still 'n all, dumb enuff to be cool!
