Talking Heads- And She Was

 After watching a bunch of stop-motion music videos in class today, I remembered another stop-motion music video that I fell in love with: the music video for "And She Was" by the Talking Heads.

I  saw this video in my History of Animation class with Professor Laura Di Trapani last Spring. She was a member of the animation team that created the video. I love how catchy the song is and how the animation mixes ugly grittiness with lighthearted whimsicality. It reminds me a lot of Terry Gilliams' animation for Monty Python.


There's a version with better picture quality here:

For some reason I had trouble embedding the "good" version.
