Black Thin King
November 30, 2008 12:05 am
This viral piece was directed and created by CISMA (Denis Kamioka) and the Birdo Studio in Brazil. What it is advertising I’m not sure (rolling papers, I think) — but I love it. (Thanks, Jason Deeble) 16 comments posted in Music Videos

Love the video, the music track is very interesting.
It’s a clothing line, although good guess based on the “Roll Your Own” poster.

The drawing style reminds me the Fleischers’ and Van Beuren’s early 30’s cartoons and the 1960’s “zap comix” of Art Crumb.
The website advertised in the video says to “visit your tobacconist”; are you saying they’re selling clothes at tobacco shops?
WOW! I love it too.
Really like this…a beaut.
Sure looks like rolling papers on the blackthinking.com website. They’re halfway cryptic about it, though — after all, rolling papers are among the products where it’s considered a bad idea to show what you think the customer will actually do with them.
Fantastic!! Great job CISMA and Birdo Studio!
Great video…..loved the character designs.
It’s a good companion piece to Sky’s “Joy to the World” commercial or that “Nesbitt’s Orange Soda Pop” commercial from waaaay back when.
This is just too cool, love the juxtaposition of music and animation styles.
I am gonna have to agree with the rolling paper crowd. Besides the “confetti” in the video, the website disallows under-18s, and the “OCB” mentioned everywhere on the site is a French rollling paper company.
Clothing line this is not.
Love the video, the music track is very interesting.
It sounds like they sampled Django Reinhardt. Specifically his version of the song, “I’se A Muggin’”
Black thinking?
Sounds like an ad for an antidepressant.
Turn on, Tune in, Drop out !
GROOVY BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
