Danko Jones' "King of Magazines"

Today marks the official launch of the music video that I worked on with Dave Cooper.


Danko Jones - King Of Magazines from Bad Taste Records on Vimeo.

The animation was all done in Flash by myself and Steve Stefanelli, working from Dave's storyboard and rough designs.

Enjoy!

Animation like this is what makes me keep going, so that one day.I to can be a good animator. All I can say is that I know for a fact that Angora Napkin is going to be excellent and groundbreaking after watching this.

This is one fine piece of animation. Awesome that you got to do a collab with Dabe Cooper, too. In addition to the great characters, you color design is spot on. Love all the "jiggly" movement and secondary motion. I second the motion for some process posts. Oh, and congrats!
