BBtv online: tv.boingboing.net. Today is animation day on Boing Boing tv, and we're super proud to present a new work from one of our favorite young animator -- Kristofer Ström of Ljudbilden & Piloten, based in Sweden. Here's their blog, and this has to be the most lovely Facebook graffitti ever. This short work is a music video he created for the Swedish electronica band Minilogue. The track is "Animals," and the video features colorful critter-blobs wreaking hyperfun havoc all over an urban real-life-scape. We asked Kristofer to tell us a little about how this came together, and he explains: "In late 2007 we (me and the band Minilogue) started talking about making a followup to the very popular 'hitchhiker's choice' video. At the same time I was doing some VJ-ing for them and found that those little animations i made for that could be characters in their next video. So I started producing a lot of loops of creatures. I hooked up with bart yates, nicholas wakeham and erik buchholtz, and our first thought was to put them all in an animated world... but i didn't really feel it. Then Erik showed me a test of my characters motion-tracked onto some footage -- and there it was. So he went out shooting some spots, rough cuts without the creatures, then we added those little fellas in the footage. Voilá! A longer version will be found on the minilogue DVD, coming this fall, finally! The longer version of 'hitchhiker's choice' will be on there too. Some other stuff can be found <b>...</b>
