Some Yo Gabba Gabba! goodness today from Joel Trussell Puny Entertainment. It’s a collaboration with Robbert Bobbert and The Bubble Machine, a spin-off childrens project from Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider. We posted another video from the group here back in September. Here’s That’s My Family…

Joel Trussell, the brilliant animator behind the War Photographer video and multiple Morcheeba videos has struck again. This time its for Gossip, and their track Love Long Distance. It’s quite the creative production, mapping digital animation onto live action footage from the roller rink. Mike and Anna Hollingsworth helped out on the animation, much as they did on Trussell’s previous project. Trussell is rep’d by One Small Step.

You may have already seen this over at CartoonBrew.com, and if so, it’s worth another look. Joel Trussell (War Photographer), directed a music video for Kid606 (Miguel Trost Depedro), a techno artist out of San Francisco. The track is Mr. Wobble’s Nightmare, and Trussell employed a unique production method here – using live-action footage of real fruit and constructed sets, which were married together with Flash animation faces. Trussell had help from Anna & Mike Hollingsworth on the animation front.

For Fremantle’s (American Idol) web and mobile channel Atomic Wedgie, Camp Chaos’ Bob Cesca has embarked on a new animated series. It’s titled Unga Bunga Banana, and it stars “a weird antagonistic critter with big goggles who loves to wreck havoc wherever he goes.” Cesca created the series along with John Christian Plummer, and then he invited two of my favorite artists to join him in the production. Bob directed the series with Anton Bogaty who also animated the series. Both Bogaty and Joel Trussell helped Cesca with character design. The first episode, which you can see below, is titled Cheese Pants.

Wired.com called Joel Trussell’s latest animated music video “a crude Flash exorcism of the singer’s personal and political demons.” Bite your tongue, good sir! The singer referenced is Jakob Dylan, whose album Seeing Things his the shelves back in May. We take great umbrage with these comments, and found the video lacking all things crude. What say you?
