Electric Car music video



They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands. They're essentially a "nerd rock" band, singing songs about math, science, and history. They've recently put out a few childrens albums with educational songs. On their album Here Comes Science, they have a song called Electric Car and it have a great music video. I think its a great fusion of New Media and Old Media. They created the characters for the video by cutting out shapes from cardboard, paper and cloth. Then they photographed each piece and put them together using photoshop. Then using aftereffects, animated the pieces. They posted a "making of" video that shows a lot of the process. I think its great to see the finished product and see how it was made. I also think its a cute and fun way to help kids know about electric cars.
