I love Robot Chicken, and-- after some Google and Youtube searching and education-- I like JibJab's style, too. I can't wait to see these videos!

definitely not going to watch the Robot Chicken in advance. Awesome that JibJab is doing another video though I am pretty disappointed that there'll only be one live action video.

Woo hoo! I found out something!

The video for Pancreas IS directed by Jim Blashfield and NOT Thomas Lee!

I found this resume this resume belonging to a Joseph J Riso Jr, who worked for Jim Blashfield Studios. In it it says:

modeled, textured and animated a pancreas organ for a Weird Al Yankovic music video.

Now, this COULD just mean that there's a Pancreas involved in the video for "I'll Sue Ya", but I doubt it.

Hey, cool find!

I'm guessing this video is going to be sort of an abstract tour through the human body. I wish I taught biology so I'd have an excuse to show it to my kids.

also from his resume, this video of a liver he did for the VA:

Sounds and looks like this will be a 3-D modeled animation.

More About the Mystery Video

Jim Blashfield's most recent music video-- a departure in style if not sensibility from earlier work-- combinines vintage live-action footage with computer generated imagery to create a visual and musical environment that is alternately hilarious and a little disturbing. The video, for an internationally known artist, is part of a package that will also include animation by Bill Plympton and others.

And there's a picture!
Notice the file name.

So, with this whole dualdisc thing, does anyone know if there's a possibility of a picture/label on the front of the CD? Or is that pretty much not happening.

Posted: **Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:26 pm**

well, since one side is the optical side for the CD and one is for the DVD, that would be impossible.

Well, for International versions, there might be some covers... From the looks of it, Al probably didn't know if the label was gonna say about internation releases, so if there cover art, it's probably gonna be of the cover (the whole cover perhaps) or just Al from the cover... I'm not sure. But it would be neat to see... Me wanty internation release. :9~
