Madvillain comic book music video

in #madvillain7 years ago

This music video for Madvillain (MF DOOM and Madlib) successfully merges a comic book aesthetic with drawn animation to great effect. The animators have clearly been influenced by early Marvel comics, such as The Incredible Hulk. The two scientists who mutate into Super-powered beings can clearly be associated with Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Samuell Sterns (The Leader)

Some of the more imaginative sequences in the animation include: running between comic book panels, subverted 60's comic book advertisements, ripping part of a 'panel' to use a shield, falling down through vertical comic book panels and animated Kirby-esque energy fields.

Watch out for the classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby stylings and the adverts for Sea Chimps!
