thanks for checking it out!

we shot with a Nikon D200 and cut with Final Cut Pro. Most shots are straight from the camera, we ran out of time to do any fancy color correction and all that. Oh well...

i am in Seattle indeed.

Lovely video and animotion. And I fell in love with this song when I heard the album. Getting a lot of heavy rotation in my house, car and office right now.

i must be pretty dense...it took me a second or third viewing to really pick up on what was going on. In the third viewing, I noticed the bit with the bird returning the little creature it had snagged. Very sweet video. Bitter sweet, I suppose. Great work.

Great claymation! What made your work distinct from many others was your manipulation and position of light. Excellent and genius work!

this must have taken at least a hundred hours. way more artistically intensive than the actual song. the nighttime lighting reminds me of street of crocodiles by the brothers quay

Beautiful work! 2 months. I started a 6 minute stop motion 15 years ago. Still slogging away on it!

The timelapse segments in this are especially effective. Well done.
Sam Whitehall 10 days ago

This was truly awesome... I just love it; the visuals are amazing and shows true imagination. I wish I had a sky-lever!
