Seth MacFarlane: Oh, How We Adore You

Seth MacFarlane launched his online-only animated series Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy today. The show is the second example in the past few month of TV producers developing their own project on the web. Will the freedom of the net attract more studio talent? Either way, the man is funny and I am excited that he has come to join our little web party. Here's one of his first episodes:

More Toys for Tink!

For a cat vs. mouse video, I think this has some notable production value. The low angles combined with a come-hither kitty stare add up to an all-around entertainment.

N, Not Your Everyday Series

Promoting Stephen King's upcoming book, this mind-distorting series combines the visual stylings of a graphic novel with a chilling tale of suspense.

Beaker Beats

Some web savvy Muppets have surfaced on the internet singing some of their favorite classic tunes. Check out this ode to joy from Beaker, everyone's favorite puppet scientist!

Pee Pee Pees

It's no secret that long road trips and over-sized sodas don't mix. In this episode of Sony Digital's Rodents, Pee Pee bargains with Buttercup for a pit stop.

Sam Roberts "Them Kids"

In this video for Sam Roberts latest single "Them Kids", the isolated environment of a Simms-like suburbia offers a cookie cutter world devoid of fear and poverty. Yet, when you listen to Robert's lyrics, the message is not nearly as happy go lucky as the colorful visuals depict them to be. Symbolic of the generational divide between Gen-X and our elders, video games are the precise reason why many of "them kids" are too distracted in modern society to enjoy the simple pleasures of past generations.

I Met The Walrus

Nearly 40 years ago, a young Canadian boy snuck into John Lennon's hotel room to talk about peace. The beloved musician, who was embraced by the world for his revolutionary views, spoke to the renegade child with no filter to his opinion of reality. Some what dark and jaded, Lennon's words are brought back from their grave into this Oscar nominated short. A composite of sketches and digital imaging, I believe this artful animation transcends generations and speaks to a nation constantly at war with itself and it's culturally obstructive enemies.

Radiohead "House of Cards"

Created using a camera-free laser imaging system, this new video for Radiohead's "House of Cards" positions technology as the driving force behind the music. At a symbolic glance, it's almost seems that Radiohead surrendering to a future where the megaband is pixelated by the collapse of the traditional label structure. Whether they meant to send this message or not, it's interesting that this video was produces during a time when the music industry is adapting to new technologies and unconventional distribution models.
