One part of my job at BBtv was to find animation hiding in obscurity on the internet and acquire it for free (in exchange for promotional links and such). Here was one of the best such pieces; originally aired on the Thailand MTV awards.

Another montage submission. I’d designed this one to counter the criticism that our other montage videos were too long and drawn out. And this tightly-packed, well-woven one didn’t do nearly as well as its slower paced cousins. Shows you what criticism is good for. 🙂

This was the video that started it all. We had never done such a thing before, but Greg, Storey and I decided that this crazy event had to be memorialized somehow. And probably not by ranting about it on our podcast. Thus, a genre was born; the Mep Video Montage (TM). Given that we had no recording equipment, the montage had to consist of found stills from the internet, with some Photoshopping alterations.

This video made its internet rounds, being referenced in the Boston Globe, and showing up on the front page of BoingBoing.
