Angry the Clown Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I've been enjoying the work of an animation group known as Monkeehub recently. I say group, in many cases it is in fact one fellow doing the majority of the work and there are two particular examples I felt it was high time I promoted because I love them so much. The first is the music video for 'The JCB Song', which is a charming little tune from an little known British band called Nizlopi and it's a beautiful video that never fails to perk me up when I am down. You can view it here. The other is an un-commissioned video for the acoustic version of Radiohead's 'Creep' which is equally brilliant but in entirely different ways to the video above. This one you can view here. The characters in the Radiohead video come from the Low Morale series of shorts which can be viewed on the same site. My favourite is the one about the Apple logo. Does anyone else know any work from similar underground animation artists to share? Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah I'll admit this thread is mostly for your benefit. This fella's work is worth shouting about though. All the little Low Morale shorts are here Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks so much for sharing that video with us. That is seriously one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen. It helps that I really love that song as well. It's just awesome. I'm going to have to buy that CD now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonJam Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Wow, that was great! I loved the part of the "Creep" video where the co-workers were being drawn from the inside-out: circulatory system, skeletal system, skin. Truly remarkable stuff, Dan, thank you!

Robot Monkey Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 That was way fun! I thought animation #12 on the Low Morale site (the one with the Creep video) was pretty good. As long as we're talking about neat animation -- check out these SpotWorks offerings, in particular Kunstformen der Natur: White Dub (right-click and save). I understand that the music backing it is in the trance genre; if that's true, I need to get some trance shit in my MP3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Having finally put my money where my mouth is after enjoying the JCB song for song long I today received Nizlopi's album 'Half These Songs are About You' and am listening to it right now. I have to say I think it is an absolutely wonderful album, and without doubt one of the best blind musical purchases I've made in ages.

cane corso Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I don't listen to much music (almost all talk radio) but that animation w/ JCB song was very nice, so I ordered the album last week. I received my copy the other day and I am really enjoying it. Thanks Daniel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of ordering their DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
