Bill Maher – Irritable Bowl Syndrome

Irritable Bowl Syndrom - Bill Maher - FlightPattern

This great animated short in support of Bill Maher’s newest book “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody but Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass” is so great because of the animation. The tight, clean, and snappy graphics really enhance the comedic and political material and make for a very effective message.

The video is animated by Fraser Davidson and you can see more of his animations on his youtube page.

Good Books – Metamorphosis by BUCK

Good Books - Metamorphosis by BUCK - FlightPattern

This is just unreal animation. BUCK created this commercial for Good Books, a book store where all profits go to charity. The animation and script is themed around Hunter S. Thompson and flows exquisitely from one melting image to the next. You’ve got to watch this a couple times to really soak it all in. Video and screenshots below.

Dean Young Reads and We Watch

Dean Young Reads and We Watch

Dean Young reading his poem “Your Super Bookstore Recommends” in an Austin, Texas warehouse during a lovely shower.  And what a visual treat.  Scott Gelber did animation altering a live filming of Dean Young reading at a green screen.  The animation is super sweet because its hand painted.   If you enjoy this, please donate to help Dean get his heart transplant.  This is one of our nations most vibrant poets and I’ve been told he’s one hell of a teacher.

A.R.I.Z.O.N.A

A.R.I.Z.O.N.A by Star Beav

A lot of traditional artists materials went into the making of this poppin video for “A.R.I.Z.O.N.A” by Star Beav.   It appears the track is from 2003.  The video, by Sean Christensen of Square One Cinema, is recent.

As a Tucsonan, I can tell you that many of the strange depictions of this video are true desert imagery; isolated, bizarre and likely ordered by greater oddities from outer space.  See that lizard licking the satellite?  A shape shifter. (more…)
