Heath Ledger's Posthumous Modest Mouse Video


via /Film

Here's an animated video for Modest Mouse's "King Rat" conceived and directed by the late Heath Ledger, brought to life by the production house The Masses. It's a great, layered animation inspired by Terry Gilliam's films and his segues and shorts from Monty Python. It's also a really cool integration of bands working together with modern production houses to achieve a coherent aesthetic vision (care of Ledger). So often these sorts of high-profile collaborations can turnout a stale product, so when I see something genuinely interesting like this it inspires.
