Bastard Wants To Hit Me
The new hand-drawn animation music video for the band They Might Be Giants is well worth checking out. "Bastard Wants to Hit Me" was released as a 'bonus video' in early November on the band's VENUE SONGS dvd and has just been posted online. The video was co-directed by Aaron Sorenson (animation direction) and Courtney Booker (art direction) at LAIKA's commercial division, LAIKA/house. There's some strong expressive animation in it with cartoony facial expressions and funny, exaggerated mouth shapes. The video is nominated for an Annie Award in the TV commercial category.
