Alex Budowsky: Bathtime in Clerkenwell (2003): the animation is a music video. its about birds, from a coo coo clock who attack a man when he wakes up every morning. its a very distinct animations style. in that everything is black against a white background. the birds attack him in the bath (hence the title) then it goes into a production line sequence. and the birds continure their assualt as the man bathes. the also attack the guys parents. there is a wizard bird there too. and it ends in color with a bird having watched it all on t.v. then he goes to bed. first of all, the song irratated me to no end. i thought it looked cool but really much too long. i was bored after a while.
Last Time in Clerkenwell (2007): its now the bird in bed. it is all slightly more abstract. still the black against white. its a bird society on a production line. then a train. traveling around the world and the moon and space. its all abstract with no true story line. i guess it is just suppose to look cool. i think it looks cool, but there is no need on earth for this to be almost 4 minutes long. it should only be used for a 30 sec commercial style. if i never hear that song again, i will be a happy man. im sure someone out there likes it, but personally, i was underwhelmed. i appreciate the effort and work, but i strongly disliked it.
