First two are great stop-motion pieces of amazing design and quality. The last one is just a delightfully hilarious short about a hand’s creation not quite going to plan and tiny animated destruction ensues.

…yeah, been slack on the updates lately I know, but will resume regular interneting soon once this surprisingly busy period passes.

Meanwhile…

Edit: yeah, zero idea what the previous (and subsequently deleted) video was, so here’s a video for some Resort Collection or… something. I dunno, but it’s awesome.

POGO returns with a Wizard of Oz sampled track with himself in front of the camera looking uncannily like a young Chris Morris.

Sourcing footage from almost 300 movies (295 to be precise); here is Sir Mix-a-Lot’s classic romantic ballad in ‘spoken verse’.

Cats, laser pointers and techno beats makes for one helluva fun video.

Using actual 1970’s Carl Zeiss Super Speed lenses, this music video successfully recreates the retro look and feel of 70s/80s action shows and with great tongue in cheek humor.

There’s also a great interview with the makers via Watch the Titles (also great).

Realised I’d forgotten to post this earlier in the week. Don’t matter, still great.

This, is pretty clever stuff…
