Shynola (production team)

This is a link to the website of English production team Shynola. These guys have been making animations for years and have worked with artists such as Radiohead, UNKLE, Coldplay and Blur. Through the medium of music videos they tell entertaining stories whose simplicity belies the complexity and detail of thier execution. They use a variety of animation techniques, from 2d sketch drawing  to 3d animation to stop motion.

 They have a medium-size player on thier website, with great resolution, so watch videos there as it is a better format than hunting these down on youtube, etc.
