Clyde Petersen Animation

This new animated video for Deerhoof is being featured on the front page of YouTube today. I love the naive and raw style of animation made with paper cut outs. I decided I had to find more work from director-animator Clyde Peterson and was so excited by what I found. The work that I was able to find is a mix of live action and animation interspersed with whimsical theatrical elements and shot on imperfect film, maybe a super 8 camera?

I love the handmade signature that canvases the projects, can't wait to see more from Peterson in the future, enjoy.
