Curious George: help find video that goes with figurine! There is a strange little video on the web that this figurine comes from...

It's not really a music video, but it's not really anything else. It has a sort of droning background song, and the images are strange little creatures like this lady, all tied up in a sort of surreal dance where heads are harvested in a machine that feeds some creatures. I can't find it. Help!

  • Wake up, wake up! You're having a really weird dream!
  • Is that figure wanking?
  • video link + photobucket = muteboy cannot see + WAH
  • More information required.
  • Is figure wanking like figure skating?
  • Danielo - were the figures in the video in sillhouette?
  • In Soviet Russia, trademark copyrights YOU!
  • Damn! Curses! Fie on IE tabs and their wrong-thread-leading-to!
  • [T. U. Monster] -- No, they were animated, and I think they were even mostly just outlines, very minimal. This character is a strange lady with her mouth stuck open, holding an ice cream cone. In the vid, she and lots more of her ilk (identical) just sort of wander around, and strange flying creatures pluck their heads off, carrying them back to a machine of sorts, that churns out food for more creatures. Here's another try at the link.
  • You lost me at "help".
  • Now I'm REALLY curious
  • Thanks to a MoFi lurker who contacted me directly, I have a lead. I believe this is, in fact, a music video, featuring the animations of Derrick Hodgson (I am positive he's the artist of the figurine), for dub artist Scientist. However, I yet to find the video.
  • Here's a video that Hodgson did for Fuel TV, with the same characters/style as the video I'm seeking.
  • Hey, you Lurkermonkey! Get on here and unlurk so we can pat your virtual back!
  • And you can translate for danielo!
  • Is it Rhythmanifest?
  • [InsolentChimp] Nope, that's not it. [Lara] ???
  • More on Rythmanifest here. (It contains an original video for The Scientist using animations of Derrick Hodgson's characters.)
