Papermation to the Psychadelic Meditations of Dan Deacon

Construction paper animator Jen Stark teams up with electronic music composer/rabble-rousing party-demigod Dan Deacon in the video below, titled "Believer". The animation is fantastic—likely constructed in a process not entirely unlike animator Ryan Kothe's paper Waves and Weaves. The basic principle: stop motion animation; so if you're inspired, start schooling yourself here.

(Check out the other two animations in the gallery for more of Stark's work.)

P.S. You may or may not be surprised to hear that Deacon is rumored to have taken shrooms (or something of that nature) before going live on the stuffy/square NBC Coastal Sunrise morning news show. See below.
