Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
Another excellent track from Animusic for a Friday night music video. This is off their first video collection released in 2001.
This is a lively romp somewhere in the universe and it puts a bit of a spin on panspermia. Beautifully rendered with great characters.

Deep in the harsh and dreary countryside, a boy’s world crumbles around him. Grief, sorrow and rage torment the boy’s heart without mercy. The boy journeys to the limits of his world in a desperate attempt to stop the inescapable beast that stand between him and his flesh and blood.
This haunting little film packs a lot in for me and seems to leave room for a wide spectrum of interpretations. From the talented folks at The Animation Workshop.
I’ve been an Animusic fan since they released their first compilation in 2001. I wore out the vhs tape and almost a second one before finally getting a dvd. Animusic 2 raised the bar even further. This track is a great example of just how enjoyable Animusic is.
Unfortunately it looks like Animusic 3 won’t get made, despite a funded Kickstarter a few years back. We can only hope someone picks it up.
Check out the original Pipe Dream video.

While not exactly animation, it is pretty cutting-edge image processing for 1984 – and it is by one of my all-time favorite bands – and it is a Friday night music video – and this… never mind, enjoy a great song by one of the great bands.
Idiot parking is universal. A fun little film with a story we can all relate to.
