BBtv: David O'Reilly Vectorpunk Animation (featuring Xeni)

Today on Boing Boing tv — more subversive animated genius from David O'Reilly, a 22-year-old experimental filmmaker from Ireland whose style lies somewhere between Kubrick and Kaufman and Ketamine. We've featured his work before here, and were instantly smitten with his vectorpunk vibe — so we asked him to cook up something exclusive for BBtv. This is the result. INNOVATE OR GTFO.

Part two of today's episode: more animated awesomeness from O'Reilly, with music composed by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. It's for MeeBox, a net-video-themed BBc3 TV pilot featuring Adam Buxton.
