Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
I like this video a lot – a snappy song and a 3D treatment of semi-retro style animation. I think I’ll be looking for more Dead Pirates music if this is any indication of their usual.
The animation was done by Mcbess & Simon
A great song and a beautiful bit of stop-motion animation telling a small vignette of a magical rescue. Perfect for a Friday night music video.
A fine film for a Friday Night Music Video. This slick track has echos of Bowie that well compliments animation that has echos of Moebius.
It is a stylish tale of synergy – rather extreme synergy. The youtube comments offer some quite imaginative hypotheses on the story’s characters and meaning, but I’ll leave it for you to decide that for yourself. Otherwise, just enjoy a great music video.
Another excellent track from Animusic for a Friday night music video. This is off their first video collection released in 2001.
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.
An excellent video to re-start the Friday night music video tradition! Fun animation and image manipulation set to a snappy, classic, tune. This one’s going into the Shiny Things file.
Animated by Nina Paley and sung by the one and only Pointer Sisters.
An older music video, but I do love Mr. Scruff and the Trouser Jazz album is about his best I think.
Three words: Robot. Laser. Dinosaurs. That alone makes this a most excellent video – add a track from my favorite Celldweller album End of an Empire and you’ve got the ultimate Saturday Night Occasional Music Video.
Animation by Animattronic.
Break out the bell-bottoms and whatever else you need for a trip back into the 70’s on a Peter Maxian outing with the Telemetry Orchestra.
Directed by TO’s own Steve Scott.
