N.A.S.A. Shares Spacious Thoughts with Kool Keith and Tom Waits

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Another new mesmerizing music video from my N.A.S.A. homeboys (Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon) as they unleash the Kool Keith/Tom Waits collabo “Spacious Thoughts” from their debut banger, The Spirit of Apollo. One of many original art-meets-animation music videos spawned from the N.A.S.A. project, “Spacious Thoughts” is directed, designed and animated by Fluorescent Hill and once again guided by the steady hands of creative director Syd Garon and producer by Susan Applegate.

More on “the making of” and interview with the artists courtesy of Boingboing.net.

N.A.S.A. Asks “Whachadoin?”

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

In keeping up with the (Spike) Jonzes following yesterday’s Wild Things post, here today is Spike’s younger brother Squeak E. Clean repping the N.A.S.A. crew with their latest music video-“Whachadoin?” featuring Spank Rock, M.I.A., Santigold, and the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner. Following Sam and Syd Garon’s vision of a series of collaborative music videos making up the visual side of their debut album The Spirit of Apollo and inspired by a multitude of talented artists (Shepard Fairey, Marcel Dzama, Sage Vaughn, The Date Farmers with Logan), “Whachadoin?” stays true to form and is wildly animated and directed by Argetinian’s Jorge Jaramillo and Jimena Oddi.

Check out the trailer I cut for the N.A.S.A. homies below and see how the current version of “Whachadoin?” progressed from it’s early stages around the 2:30 mark:
