Austin TV’s Shiva music video
October 28th, 2008Beautifully fluid collage-like animation, straight from someone’s imagination into yours with no apparent effort or middleman. Any of the stills from this would translate into a breathtaking illustration. (That’s a sure sign of the good stuff.)
And I’ve discovered a new breed of dog! The xoloscuinle. What an awesome name.

Animators! Go to http://www.vimeo.com/1564876 to see the animatic for this, where they use pencil roughs to work out the timing and lay out sequences. I really like it when they post this stuff; it’s great seeing other people’s processes.

The blurb from where Ticklebooth first linked to for this video (http://dekku.blogspot.com/2008/10/austin-tv-shiva.html) reads:
“An old man, named Mario Lupo González Fábila, and his xoloscuincle dog, Kerdoc, accidentally fall in a hidden magic forest which turns out to be the devil’s cave.
Austin TV is a mexican indie instrumental band comprised of Chiosan, Oiram, Rata and Xnayer.
Shiva is the second single from their latest album, entitled Fontana Bella and released for Prodisc in January 2008.
The booklet of the album comes with a bunch of pages with sketches and stories written by this fictional character named Mario Lupo, and the video tells just one of these surreal stories.
The music video is a collaboration between director and illustrator Alberto Cerriteño with animator and designer Diego Huacuja.”
