In the Spirit of Music Videos: It's Cartoon Time!


Both of the featured music videos for this week have something blaringly obvious in common. They are both animated. They are both awesome. And neither one particularly follows the Music Video rules. But we can't help ourselves. AMY! by the Toilet Cartoon Shower Band and Fearless by Migrating Birds are therefore perfect canidates for our "In the Spirit" award.
In no particular order, let's discuss their various merits. AMY! features just about the cutest bathtub band this side of the Mississppi and the adorable bathtime pals look and sound like a wee Weezer band. The goo, the drain, what's not to love? As for Fearless, this music video features the cartoon duo Boxhead and Roundhead. It was expanded from another clip and its fun to join Boxhead and Roundhead on their adventure. Bravo, my good animators!
About AMY!:
A cartoon band consisting of animated bathroom products performs over live action footage (Roger Rabbit Style) of one of the more disgusting looking bathrooms in a prewar Greenwich Village apartment. Complete with animated germ puddles which come to life and wreak havoc as the band tries to perform.
Directed, animated, composed, performed, edited and filmed by Pete Scalzitti
About Fearless:
An animation by Elliot Cowan to Migrating Birds song Fearless. It was made for 0 dollars ( but if you squint really hard it looks like ).
Directed by Elliot Cowan
