Animator Bill Plympton Hand-Drew Every Frame of the Average Friends ‘u know i luv u’ Music Video

Academy Award–nominated animator Bill Plympton collaborated with the indie band Average Friends to direct and animate the music video for their song “u know i luv u”. Plympton hand-drew every frame in his unique Plymptoons style, and the video, fully funded through Kickstarter, premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival.

The festival also celebrated Plympton’s 80th birthday with “Grilling Bill Plympton”, a screening of his shorts in which fellow indie animator Signe Baumane quizzed him about his career.
