I’m an old-school metal-head and grew up on Sabbath, Zepp, Rush, and the like, and this tune is right there. That it is an adult satire of a children’s tale by a band that can laugh at itself turns it up to 11.
Rocketh on, verily.
Striking claymation by director and animator Gianluca Maruotti tells a tale of… well… thinking outside of the box. Perfect for a Friday night music video.
The song, off of Giangrande’s album Beauty At Closing Time, is dreamy and almost sweet and compliments the story well.
A blend of different animation styles, quick patter, and a broken 4th wall make this short great – unless you’re a 3D animation student.
In a hospital for animated characters, a classic 2d doctor and a clay animation nurse must operate on a broken 3d model.
Animated by Sawyer Geffert at Ringling College.
There is something kind of safe and loveable about claymation. When you think about it, even the most grotesque clay monsters can be remolded into Gumby (or Pokey) so what’s to worry about? It also helps that much of the claymation I come across starts out as cute anyway. Like this one by Steve Boot.

Winner of the best independent film at the 2015 “Festival Stop Motion Montreal.”
