Back in March, Joey Potts and I were asked to spend a day overseeing the shoot of the Murder By Death Video that we would be animating in April. Who would have thought that we’d also get to hang out in the band’s backyard, drinking beer and soaking up the sunshine, with some of the coolest folks in the midwest. Not bad for a days work! Then it was time for us to get down to business. Working with the incredibly talented Optimus team, Joey came up with illustrations for the edit and I began laying everything in. We were able to combine a  mix of frame-by-frame hand drawn animation, a whole lot of tracked illustrations, and some AE animation to create this wonderful whisky loving world. Big thanks to MBD, Vagrant Records, and the entire production/post-production crew for making work fun!!

Hear Ya says: ”This is a HearYa.com premiere of the first video released from the album. The single is “As Long As There Is Whiskey In The World.” They blend country, punk, and irish drunk into a one barnstormer of a song. And video.” “Warning: This video may make you thirsty.”
