JibJab’s 2009 in Review
The end of the year is never the end of the year without JibJab’s musical take on things. This time around, their signature cut-out style is achieved by—of all things—cut-out paper. Watch Never a Year Like ‘09.
I visited Evan at JibJab earlier in the year and he told me how he really wanted to bring more stop motion and hand-made touches to the work they do, and he wasn’t kidding.
One of the things I love about JibJab’s videos of late is the extensive behind-the-scenes looks at pretty much every aspect of producing their shorts. The Making of Never a Year Like ‘09 is chock full of animatics, production art, and more goodies for every single scene in the piece—a goldmine of inspiration for anyone interested in creating low-fi, hand-made animation.
