A beautifully animated and very bizarre — bordering on disturbing — 6-minute animation about a fictional group of mutant children from Chernobyl, titled Chernokids. The short video was made by a group of Frenchies (Matthieu Bernadat, Nils Boussuge, Florence Ciuccoli, Clément Deltour and Marion Petegnief) who will most definitely get some professional work if they […]

An animated typography interpretation of Conan O’Brien’s farewell address on his last day at NBC. Wow, truly bad ass. I’ve been with Team Coco since Day One (anyone who wrote the “Monorail Song” on The Simpsons has my eternal respect), and his humility and humor in the face of such a stunning career blow only […]

Los Angeles producer and man of the future worlds Flying Lotus gets the Adult Swim treatment in this video for his track “Zodiac Shit”. Is it as good as the misanthropic robots turning against their human overlords? I’d say it’s pretty damn close…

Lando Calrissian’s cover of R. Kelly’s seminal stroke of genius, “Real Talk”, featuring the cast of Return of the Jedi. Tell me Leia, were there other guys there? Were there other guys there?! Real talk.

Off the sophomore album from Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts, Crystal Axis, comes the single and video “Lara Vs The Savage Pack”. The highly creative video was shot frame by frame, then re-shot using over 2000 printed pieces of paper. I dig the quasi-psychedelic animations; half kaliedescope, half paper madness. Directed by Lucinda Schreiber and Beatrice Pegard, […]

A crazy anecdote by famed director Werner Herzog and his chance encounter with Joaquin Phoenix…who he saves from an upside down car crash. Maybe all that stuff about Joaquin being loose canon rapper, as portrayed in the I’m Still Here film, isn’t all just an act — maybe homeboy totally does have a very large […]

We’ve covered N.A.S.A. (North America South America) here many times in the past, partly because they’ve managed to corral an almost unholy stable of collaborators to work with (“People Tree” featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits and Kool Keith, […]

Props to N.A.S.A. who continue their Boing Boing-sponsored run of excellent animated videos (e.g. that Syd Garon directed “People Tree” video featuring David Byrne, Chali 2Na, Z-Trip and Gift of Gab, “Whachadoin?” with M.I.A., Santogold and Spank Rock, “Spacious Thoughts” with Tom Waits & Kool Keith, etc). This time it’s a vid for “Strange Enough”, […]
