Animator Spotlight: Adam Bizanski


I first saw the work of stop-motion animator, Adam Bizanski, at Resfest a few years ago.
His video for The Shins' song 'Pink Bullets', is a gentle and heart-breaking tale of love between two paper cows.
The way he infuses so much emotion into their little paper eyes is remarkable.

Bizanski made his first music video while doing his compulsory military service in Israel, finishing it on his breaks at home.
He asked a friend in the US to give his work to The Shins at a New York in-store appearance. Eight months later, he received a call from the lead singer James Mercer, and this lead to the Pink Bullets clip, which he created in his bedroom in Tel-Aviv.
He's since directed videos for Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and Zero 7.
Go check out his website to see Pink Bullets and more. Now i say!
