I like this video a lot. It's really clever! Okay, so the song is annoying-when isn't "happy birthday" annoying? BUT, it works here. I've never thought of electrical outlets as animate objects-pretty cute.

This is a really neat mix of illustration, photography, and animation.

 This is a totally fun, totally weird MTV video. I like the movement of the camera and the movement of the guy. The distortion of the characters bodies are interesting. The hair bit is also funny, even more so after reading the description about boys and puberty.

I dig this style of music and appreciate what was done with the music video. Apparently, the filmmakers animated over 130 photoshop brushes and used illustration, film, photography and 3-D motion design. Even though there are so many elements, things stay unified and of a certain "look." It's interesting how you can only see one side of either man's face in all the shots.

I like this little commercial because it uses the Madmen style and motifs really well. It's clever and memorable. They wait until the end of the commercial to show you the product, giving it the effect of a punch line. The illustration style is really cool, simple, and easy on the eye. I also enjoy the limited color palette.
