Boston Spaceships: Fly Away (Terry Says): My latest music video is for Boston Spaceships (featuring Robert Pollard from Guided By Voices and John Moen from the Decemberists), and was commissioned for Tom Scharpling's "Best Show On WFMU" premium DVD. Enjoy! Ben Garant & The Faith Healer: I did this animation of Ben Garant (The State, Reno 911) for Kevin Allison's RISK podcast. This is a 100% true story! Schund: Schund: Both the band and the song are called Schund. This is an obscure German punk song from around 1980. get ready to pogo! Ken Plume & Caissie St. Onge: Ken Plume interviewed TV writer Caissie St. Onge for his podcast, and of course the conversation came around to Muppet Babies. Anti-Drug PSA: Basically, I turned on a microphone and this is what fell out of New York improv superstar Sarah Nowak's (of The Baldwins) mouth.
These are some of the music videos I've directed over the past few years: Thao With The Get Down Stay Down: Cool Yourself Low: Hatchet (Optimimi Version) Sarah Shannon: City Morning Song
Most of these political animations were made for Salon.com. I created five animations a week for Salon.com during the 2008 election, and they sent me to cover the GOP Convention that year. Most of these use actual audio of politicians and cable news talking heads: Don't Call Sarah Palin A Quitter Michele Bachmann vs. The Census Congratulations, Mr. President Dubya on the Economic Collapse Rick Warren sure is an expert on being gay Who are the core Palin supporters? Sarah Palin vs. Charlie Gibson "The McLaughlin Group" on Bush's legacy Dubya: We Don't Torture People. Honest!
In 2005-2006, I made an animation every day for a year. Sadly, most of those pieces have disappeared forever, but here are a few that are still on the Internet: John Hodgman: The Truth About Jonathan Coulton |
A few years ago, I wrote, produced, directed and animated (and created the original music for) a TV show for PlumTV, "Scott Bateman Presents Scott Bateman Presents," which was made up of short animated pieces featuring voice work from some really cool-ass people: Kristen Schaal is Trixie Tangway 1 Kristen Schaal is Trixie Tangway 2 Pete Holmes is Earth's New Robot Overlord Jenny Slate Is Earth's New Robot Overlord Kristen Schaal is Earth's New Robot Overlord Actual Audio: 1952 Asbestos Film Actual Audio: Plowshares: Peaceful Nuclear Explosions
Sometimes, I turn on a microphone and let people just make stuff up and then I animate it: Kristen Schaal's Black Tuesday Singalong Ali Farahnakian's Potato Chip Buffet Blink Party!!! with Sean Crespo
A few years ago, David Wain of The State allowed me to animate a few of the pieces from The State's unreleased album from the 1990s: The State: Sherlock Holmes Sketch The State: The Late Mr. & Mrs. Balloon
Sound from your favorite shows, movies and commercials, re-animated. MTV actually aired one of my "The Hills" parodies: Star Trek Movie: Young Kirk Walks Into A Bar... Bateman: Air Supply recalls the '70s Christian Bale & Michael Caine: Batman Jon & Kate Plus Eight, Minus Jon |
For these animations, I've animated to the sound from real educational and industrial shorts: Color It Clean (The Janitor Short) Actual Audio: Self-Preservation In An Atomic Attack
Here are some comedy sketches I've written and animated, sometimes with special guest voices: Cancer Cat (with Kevin Allison) TV Commercial (with Mary Jo Pehl & Violet Krumbein)
