Grizzly Bear "Ready, Able" - (Dir: Allison Schulnik)

         
It's conceptual, It's artistic, it's blogworthy, it's predictable. These guys aren't dumb, they know their target market.
         
the love-child of ben&julia&tobias stretch? it hits the mark, fer sure.
         
Ha! Of course I love it! A great painter turned great animator! Expressionist painting comes alive! Bravo!

Dig it. Time to go play with some plasticine.
         
I usually dislike this low fi backyard type of animation unless well executed with a good sense of style and aesthetic.
Elements of this definitely get there for me. The very beginning almost put me off with the home crafts insect and river shots but the rest was quite watchable. Not sure what the narrative is but I enjoyed it all the same.

         
liked it...good pace which didn't' try and shove the aesthetic down your throat.
As kansas said, I usually find most current attempts at stop motion music video irritating.
         
usually not a fan of videos like this, but that was pretty good. helps that the song is good
         
claymation? nah, not my bag.
but the song is good
