Hip Hop ya Don't Stop (Motion)

The first video from the all-puppet band Otafuku Rex is online! I had the pleasure of animating a few shots on this under the direction of the very talented Eric Towner and David Candelaria. I think this is one of the best looking videos, stop-motion or otherwise, to come out in years.

Go to Otafuku Rex to see the video in high or low resolution.

Breakdown.

Well I tried keeping it intact- but the way I put the console set together there just wasn't any graceful way to break it down. I salvaged the little detail pieces that can be used again and then went at it with the hammer. The process was strangely cathartic! Now the stage area of the garage is open and ready for the next scene.
