If Fritz the Cat had been done as an artsy independent animated film, it might look something like “Welcome to the Third World,” an offbeat video directed by Webster Colcord for The Dandy Warhols. It was produced through the now-defunct Orphanage. Artists who worked on the piece inlcude Jan Van Buyten and Eric Kilkenny, as well as a crew of students from DeAnza College and Ex’pression College of Digital Art.

Here’s something different - and a nice way to start the week: French pop star Gregoire’s music video for his new song Rue Des Etoiles. It was directed and created by the Le French Bulldog animation studio.

“Mykonos” is a visually mesmerizing paper cut-out music video for Fleet Foxes, directed and animated by Sean Pecknold with artwork by illustrator Jesse Brown. Full video credits, along with a ‘making of’ short can be viewed here.

This music video by Japanese artist Kondoh Akino (gallery website in English) constantly surprised me with its playful use of the human form and its strikingly designed movement. As best as I can discern, it appears to be from 2002 and was created when Akino was a student in art school.
