Karni & Saul: Float Posted by Matt Lambert Karni & Saul: Float5.051 A few weeks ago, Flynn Productions directorial duo Karni & Saul completed this music video for Flogging Molly’s latest single Float. The video follows a tired and frail stick character as he takes us on an epic journey from city to sea, building himself along the way. The ambitious scope of this epic saga is made accessible through its simple character’s ability to evoke pathos. Karni, with a background in fashion photography, and Saul with his feet in the world of 3D animation have once again sensibly married their two worlds to bring this piece to life. Artist: Flogging Molly Production Company: Flynn Producions Commissioner: Thomas Dreux, Side One Dummy Records Directors: Karni & Saul Producer: Natalie Bayle Animators: Karni &; Saul, Kostas Koutsoliotas, Steve Brown Designers: Karni & Saul Post Production: Flynn Post Posted on 9 February 2009 \| Tags: karni saul flogging molly flynn float VN:F [1.7.5_995] Rating: 5.0/5 (1 vote cast) 5 responses to “Karni & Saul: Float” Comment by oddfew: Tuesday, February 10th 2009 at 12:57 am \| Incredible. That was the most compelling music vid I’ve seen in a long time. I wonder if the stick character was stop motion for any of those shots? Some just seem to raw to be cg. Amazing work.

But if it’s the case, the animators must be super fast and super good, because the light stays consistent through a sequence.
