So, over at the official website, "Weird Al" Yankovic has revealed who all the animators are who have done music videos for his upcoming album Straight Outta Lynwood. See, his album's going to come with a DVD, with 6 new music videos on it...each one animated! Who are those six animators?
- Academy Award Nominee Bill Plympton. He did the one that's online right now, Don't Download This Song.
- John Krikfalusi, the creator of Ren and Stimpy.
- The entire team behind the brilliant stop motion animated cartoon, Robot Chicken. (Their video will actually be a segment on Robot Chicken on the 23rd.)
- Thomas Lee, who's best known work is the Shockwave cartoon The Star Wars Gangsta Rap
- David C. Lovelace, who created the Shockwave cartoon Retarded Animal Babies.
- Jim Blashfield, who did such classic music videos in the 1980s as "And She Was" by Talking Heads and "Boy in the Bubble" by Paul Simon.
I should mention that all these animated videos are for Weird Al's original songs...he's currently filming a live-action music video for the first parody, and in pre-production on a video for the second parody.
So that's a grand total of 8 music videos from this album!!
