My good friend Ryan Junell has created his third video for Spoon, this time co-directing/animating along with Double Triple a video for "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb":
Ryan describes the "2d stop motion animated music video":
Neither of us had done stop motion or green screen before so there was a big learning curve, but it was super fun and some of the best hardwork I've done in awhile. This was done entirely in collaboration with long time friend Phillip Niemeyer of Double Triple.
We invented a production ethic called "Whomping" (alt. "Wamping" or "Womping") where you just take what's in front of you and Whomp/Wamp/Womp on it til its done. Phillip explained to me that you can't pay for whomping... because whomping can only come from the inside.
I love the way Ryan looks at the world. He's always got me laughing, scratching my head and/or seeing things from a different angle.
Check out the other videos Ryan directed for Spoon:
- "The Two Sides of Mssr. Valentine" featuring Charo! (Ryan, you are not the only person who appreciates this fact.)
- "Jonathon Fisk"
