Video break: Eric Power’s animation

There's something so wonderfully satisfying about low-tech animation, especially when it's surrounded by a world filled with high-tech glitz and showy special effects.

Eric Power's videos are just that - simple, paper cut animations that create a whole world of their own, and give the accompanying music an even greater sense of innocence and wonder.

This is not the first time I've posted an Eric Power animated video - he's created many popular videos for local musician Jeremy Messersmith, including Tattooine, Organ Donor and A Boy, A Girl and A Graveyard. Here's a video Power animated for Cloud Cult, Running With The Wolves.
