you probably know them as the animation collective responsible for the guide sequences in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy movie. here is some more of their work you might like to check out.
a honda civic ad featuring m.i.a.’s ‘galang’ and a flying car. i want to play the racing game that looks and plays like this.
the music video for go with the flow by queens of the stone age, featuring high-contrast red and black visuals and some mildly uncomfortable sexual content.
the crazy underwater world of radiohead’s pyramid song
the video for unkle’s eye for an eye which is indescribably bizarre and will fuck with your head.
the pixel-art video for junior senior’s move your feet which is also pretty wierd in the middle, and really doesn’t look very good at larger than it’s native resolution of like 50×50 pixels. apparently it doesn’t scale very cleanly on youtube or google-video…
basically, short of that honda ad and the hitchhikers stuff, everything they do is kind of screwed up. it’s all good though.
It doesn’t have to:
You can download the Junior Senior video, in quicktime format, off Shynola’s website.
It looks much better, and is hilarious. And, at times, oddly unsettling.
