This stunning image of a lone magician girl, created through stop-motion
animation, is from the new video by The Shins, entitled "The Rifle's
Spiral," directed by Jamie Caliri. This
director
has done the credit sequence for the Lemony Snicket film (very cool),
and some other short form animated commercials and music videos, which
you can watch on his
site.
His work is reminiscent of The Quay Brothers films crossed with Czech
animator Jiri Trnka, with a dash of steampunk thrown in for good
measure. He would be great at bringing Erin Morgenstern's
The Night Circus to the screen. Beautiful and unsettling work. Check out the video
here.
