Mikey Please: TV on the Radio’s “Second Song”


This one came out back in April as part of TV on the Radio’s feature film for Nine Types of Light, but I’m still loving the character design and in-camera practical effects. Mikey Please takes his papercrafting wizardry and shows he can smartly (and beautifully) integrate other styles in his music video for TV on the Radio’s “Second Song”. (Hat tip to @tinyinventions.)
