The
Boing Boing tv crew continues their hard-earned snooze in the sands of a swingers' resort on the south shore of Mars today, but we're revisiting the best of the show while we slack off in outer space.
(Robot! Bring me another red Rover martini.) Today, we feature the work of animator, filmmaker, and music video director Bill Barminski, a longtime Boing Boing fave.
Above, "Drive In," a soothing ambient work I like to watch before bedtime.
Another beloved Barminksi joint is below,
S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T.: Pinker Tones music video by Walter Robot.
Here's a link to all of the BBtv episodes which have featured Barminski's work.
My favorite appears in the second half of this BBtv episode: the "Fuji Apple" animated short from Barminski's production team Walter Robot, with music by Boards of Canada (song: Roygbiv, from "Music has the Right to Children.") I could just watch that over and over again, and I often do.
Today on
Boing Boing tv, a music video for the
Pinker Tones song "S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T." produced by
Bill Barminski's "
Walter Robot" studio. The whole album ("Wild Animals") is great:
Amazon link,
iTunes.
Previous BBtv episodes featuring Walter Robot Studios and Bill Barminski:
Bill Barminski animation: "Drive-In"
Mark makes a mini amp / Funky cowboy (BBtv's 50th!)
Roachbot / Walter Robot
Today on
Boing Boing tv, ambient animation from the prolific artist and filmmaker
Bill Barminski.
Drive-In is part of an ongoing series of immersive experiments by
Barminski that re-create childhood memories of night skies, thunderstorms, and fireflies, as he remembers them.
Link to previous BBtv episodes featuring Barminksi -- and coming soon on BBtv, interviews with the artist about the technical and creative process behind his work.
Music in this episode by Residential Sails.

Today on Boing Boing tv, another exclusive interview with Aloysius, the hoboist great-grandpappy of illustrator
Adam "Ape Lad" Koford. The elder Koford shares never-before-known knowledge with us about what it was like to live
la vida hobo while he developed that
famous comic strip about cats. Previous BBtv episodes featuring
Ape Lad and Aloysius are
here,
here, and
here.
Next, we feature some floating, mobile, hobo homes, in Walterrobot's short film Moon Avenue Box Man.

Now that we've properly memorialized
Falco with his own product code, it's time for the ultimate monument to his iconic talent. Via
monochrom, BBtv takes you to the Falco... stairs?
Sean Bonner makes a cameo to weigh in on the Falco... lamppost. Then, we proudly premiere the Falco Memorial Haz Mat Dancers. Er, actually it's a retro-style short video by
Walterrobot entitled "Fuji Apples." Music in the Walter Robot short from
Boards of Canada (song:
Roygbiv, from "
Music has the Right to Children.")
