The follow-up to Alexis’s brilliant animated/claymation Video Musics is coming soon:
“Video Musics II: Sun Wu-Kong” is a one hour multimedia video opera based on the 16th century Chinese novel “The Journey to the West”. The project combines line drawing and watercolor animation as well as stop motion and claymation.
It has musical contributions from Rachel Blumberg (M Ward, Arch Cape), Cory Gray (Norfolk & Western, Carcrashlander), Shelley Short (Hush) as well as visual contributions from Cynthia Star (Coraline, Moral Orel, Robot Chicken), Becca Taylor (Punk Planet, Arthur) and Ezra Claytan Daniels (Darkhorse Comics, Top Shelf Comics).
The DVD/Vinyl release is on Africantape(EU) / Slowtrain(US) scheduled for fall 2010.
Epic.
This is true vision. Thanks for the link S!
In case you don’t know, Reggie Watts is insanely talented.
I designed the cover for Domer’s latest work, The Flaming Clipse, a mashup album “combining the dirty south raps of Virginia natives Clipse with the epic sonic wash of indie-rock innovators The Flaming Lips.”
True to form the design itself is a mashup of the iconic album covers from Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips and Clipse’s Lord Willin’.
Domer is the man behind the production of The Bohemian Rap CD. The Flaming Clipse album is a free download on freeicecream.net.
