Michael Please follows up his BAFTA winning short film The Eagleman Stag with an ambitious animated music video for Brooklyn band TV On The Radio. The promo was commissioned as part of the band’s feature length film for their third album, Nine Types of Light.

We’ve also included a charming short- ‘ZombieGotchi’, that shows his brilliant knack for simplicity, warmth and dark humor in character creation.
