To promote his Top Shelf comic book The Incredible Change-Bots, Ignatz award-recipient Jeffrey Brown turned to animators Mysh and Oren Mashkovski. The two created this trailer below, which features characters from Brown’s riff on the Transformers universe. Brown is no stranger to animation, having directed the music video for Death Cab For Cutie’s Your Heart is an Empty Rooom, which was animated by Eliza Kinkz.

Preview the comic here.

Kob, the Israeli indie rocker, has called up on Mysh and Oren Mashkovski to animate his most recent music video. The track is titled Fixed World, and it was animated by Roy Manor and Mashkovski. The three characters in the video are major, historical figures from Israeli history.

The gang at Israel-based Pil Animation has released a new Flash-animated music video for an Israeli musician named Yoni Rechter. The lyrics for Sasha au Passage roughly translate to “Who’s got a massage parlor in the Passage? Sasha in the Passage has a parlor massage.” Art and design by Mysh, and animation by Oren Mashkovski.

CHF first announced The Mad Scientist Show back in January. It’s Pil Animation’s new series that was created by Oren Mashkovski and MYSH. Now they’re back with the fourth installment, The Ray Beam.

Back in January of this year, we were all introduced to ‘The Mad Scientist Show,’ created by Oren Mashkovski and MYSH. They’ve now released their third episode with animation by Pil Animation in Israel, and this time, we go back, waaaaaay back….

About a year ago, you may have spotted a link to ‘Gaigin - The Tail of a Warrior.’ It’s a very well produced short out of Pil Animation in Israel. Well they’ve been hard at work in the ensuing year, and I’ve just been tipped off on a couple of their new projects.

First, check out ‘The Mad Scientist Show,’ created by Oren Mashkovski and MYSH, the same duo that created ‘Gaigin.’ Here’s the direct link to episode 2 (9mb - Windows Media).

And second, have a look at Pil’s animated bumpers for Channel 24 - The Israeli Music Channel. I like this one (2.3mb Windows Media) in particular. All of the spots were animated frame-by-frame and drawn straight into the computer using both Flash and Aura. The BGs were created in Aura and Photoshop. You can see the rest of the spots over on the Pil Animation homepage.
