"This song, The Pot, is the second release off of their latest album, 10,000 Days. The song is an amazing showcase for Keenan's vocal talents, as well as the bass playing of Justin Chancellor - both of which you'll hear at the song's outset.
Although an accompanying video has not yet been released by the studio, according to "The Rock Radio" a video was shot last month over the winter holidays. Notwithstanding, there has been an unauthorized video produced that is itself pretty good and captures the moral and religious overtones contained in the lyrics, as well as the overall "trippiness" existent in Tool's other videos. Check it out."
Tool - The Pot
I'm really looking forward to their newest release. Here's another video directed by Morgon Routt and remixed by Lustmord. A nice pairing.
Tool - Parabola (Lustmord Remix) Morgasmo:09:49
Imagine a brand landscape defined by the individual; the consumer, the prospect, the common surveyor–a marketplace that evolves organically based on consumer interaction and feedback. A company and their agency-both accountable for their products, services and ideas. Knowledge is growing directly in relation to the amount of people contributing to it without regard for social or economical barriers. Language barriers don't exist. Knowledge is systematic growth based on interoperation without ration. Mass communications leveraged by the individual. Products and services rising and falling on their own merits. Someone googles "sucker born everyday," every minute. Advertising talks too much, art requires no explanation and we live in the middle. Create relevancy.

Marc, nice pick up on the second video directed by Routt. My question to you, as a designer, is this:
Is there a technical description for the type of stop-motion animation used in both that second video and Tool's amazing first (I think) video, Sobor?
It's an incredible effect, and I was just wondering if the design gurus have defined it any particular way. Thanks mate.
Matt, you hit the first technical term on the head. Stop-motion is a film technique. However, I would categorize this first video is animated. The jitter effect is probably a filter or plug-in. Probably used Maya or After Effects with traditional illustrations.
Who knows these days...
Stop-motion is often associated/confused with clay animation ( which can incorporate miniature props too ). Stop-motion is a camera technique where as claymation is a style. Frame rates and camera pans/angels can alter this technique as well too. Most of the time, you'll see very little panning. Starwars, the obvious example and an amazing execution of these techniques combined, comes to mind. But then, Lucas almost went broke too. Very time consuming.
It sort of goes like this:
Animation, Category
Clay animation=style of animation
Stop motion=film technique
Thanks much for the explanation, Marc. I had a tentative understanding of the techniques, but I'm glad I asked a professional.
Err, and style and category, too.
