This is an amazing music video. The animation is so inspiring because its only possible in traditional animation.

both pretty much blow my mind and make me want to remove my "animator" title, since I will never. ever. EVER match this level of quality, madness, and sheer mastery of the medium. Completely mind blowing stuff.
edit- don't get bored. the mind blowing stuff happens at around 3:30 in. Wait for it..

Some of the other guys at work commented:
-What the hell is the production process on something like that?!?!? Is it storyboarded? Are there design meetings with the client?

-Nope, just a “Make it look cool” and “Oh, don’t forget your meds”

nnnooooo.. see.. it would have to turn into a pile or mush, merge with the other anmals, spaz out into an exploding skeleton in fish eye view.. then culminate back into the landscape.. but then melt, boil, and bulge back into a rhino head. And thats just the first 20 seconds.

then. and only then.. can it be on par with these links! :D

Owen,
Wow... what to say. That was some intense animation.
It really got me thinking.

Across the spectrum from that first video link to the Rhino song Lav posted I'm mostly reminded that art at its core is seriously ridiculous. :D
