JibJab’s 2009 Year in Review
December 28, 2009 8:03 am
Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!
JibJab has released their annual “year in review” short with a tongue-in-cheek summary of the highs and (mostly) lows of the past twelve months. They’ve supplemented it with an exhaustive set of blog posts documenting the production process scene-by-scene. This year’s edition is notable for its lo-fi aesthetic with most of the visuals created in-camera. It was surprising to learn on their blog how many of the elements that I initially assumed used digital compositing were actually made with cut-outs, replacement stop-mo animation, and puppetry. |

dang, that was pretty well done. I had to watch it a few times to catch everything.
*applauds* Simply awesome! Now that’s how to end the year with animation! LOL
Ah, that reminds me. I still need to get my friend a Three Wolf Moon shirt!
Never disappoints. Happy New Year. (self imposed exclamation point ban for ‘010)! opps.
haha that was funny except one small critique where was tiger woods? hehe did I miss it?
Chris, he’s in there alright, at the 1:45 mark.
Not matter how many times I watch this, I find something else I’ve missed. 2009 was an interesting year!
We live in interesting times.
Dang! These guys do lo-fi well!
BTW, I was wondering if the lo-fi-ness has anything to do with getting back to their basics or roots?
Great work.
What was that in the end? Did the Piano Cat die for real?
Oh…Thanx for bring back the awesome memories of the Three Wolf Moon t shirt.
The Kayne West scene was hilarious too.
Nope, Keyboard Cat died years ago. She just became popular this year.
Wow! I too am really surprised by the amount of stop motion. I thought most of what these guys did was Flash. Thanks for the post, it gave me a ton of new ideas! :-)
this is testimony to how much you can do with so little materials. great animation!
