Update: Now on YouTube!

Hey everybody! Here’s the new music video I created for Laura Veirs for “July Flame”, the title track from her new album. It debuted yesterday on Stereogum and Laura’s site. I hope you enjoy it!

It’s quite different from anything I’ve done before, but see if you can spot the brief chicken cameos at the beginning. I’ll post some behind-the-scenes stuff soon! And if you haven’t seen my previous music video yet, check it out: Phantom Mountain

Music video in the works

October 25, 2009 · Filed Under Animation, Behind the Scenes, News · 4 Comments

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started work on a new music video for Laura Veirs! Laura has asked me to create a video for the title track of her upcoming album July Flame. It’s a great tune - but don’t take my word for it - go download a free preview copy for yourself (registration required) on Laura’s site!

The video will be stop-motion animation (like Phantom Mountain) but it will be visually very different from anything I’ve done before. I’m still at the storyboarding phase, so it’ll be a while before the video is ready, but I’ll keep you posted!
