New Clay Animation for Primus

In between and around Ted 2 duties and starting on a new CG project at Atomic Fiction, and back-and-forth between L.A. and Oakland, I contributed to a new clay animated music video for Primus.  The band was happy with the way the Beats Antique/Les Claypool "Beezlebub" video turned out and asked Ivan Landau about doing another.  Unfortunately I was too busy to take it all on, but my friends Edgar Humberto Alvarez and Scott Nordlund stepped in to work on it.  Below are my three main clips, then the final video.
