They Might be Giants - Im impressed

This is a music video for the band 'They might be Giants', although i hadn't heard of the band before this, i stumbled across the video which i fell in love with, mostly due to its mixture of medias. i especially like at the start how they cut out and fold the army and repeating characters. i like the obvious paper cut out effect even along with the slightly crude yet still well done green screening in the background.

Its the simplicity and expressions i like the most about this, its something i would love to look into animating in a similar style as i like they way they have gone about animating the eyes for example and how easy they would be to change and swap compared to when using clay.

it was produced by bent image lab (http://bentimagelab.com/m/ ) which has produced many videos working with a number of directors and constantly changing. Companies like these i have found are great source of a mixture of commissioned animations and films and again is stationed around the world helping finance and produce such good quality and a wide range of works.
