Flame Throwers and Dry Ice in a modern day duel

Dancing Pigeons – Ritalin from Blink on Vimeo.

In a new video for band Dancing Pigeons, director Tomas Mankovsky has created a truly epic battle on our screens. He had this to say about the idea behind the clip:

“Duels fascinate me. It used to be a popular thing, but in modern days it has died out. So I thought that probably somewhere in the States, some hillbillies are still doing it, their way.”

You might know him from the lovely stop-motion short Sorry I’m Late (which you might remember was one of our Stop Motion Favourites 2009). According to his website, there will be a longer length version of this bad boy in the near future so keep an eye out for what promises to be the showdown of the year.
