Music videos aren’t just for Spike Jonze to make… anymore.
It took Gabe around four-months of work to complete the entire thing himself. All of this independent of the band, this visually appealing masterpiece was made just for fun.
Gabe Askew, fan of the band Grizzly Bear, whipped up his own animation for the song Two Weeks, which, in my opinion, blows the original video for the song right out of the water. The amount of personal technical and artistic skill in Gabe’s efforts oughta put Michael Bay and Tim Burton to shame. TO SHAME, I SAY.
