The Simple Carnival's "Really Really Weird," from the Girls Aliens Food album. This video was made with a total of $7.25 in materials, though from the way it looks you'd think it cost twice as much! Just about everything in the video is construction paper with magic marker outlines, scanned into a paint program, then animated by hand. Thousands of frames were then stitched together with free video editing tools. You can read an in-depth article about how this video was created here: http://songsandsonics.com/?p=38 About The Simple Carnival: While the music appears to sound like a band with orchestral embellishments, all the parts are actually performed by one person. A guy named Jeff Boller sings, writes songs, and plays piano, guitar, bass, drums, flute, cello, and a bunch of other toys.
