Fireflies (Music Video) by Owl City Featuring Collectible Art Toys
I reckon either or both the music video director and art director (for Owl City's "Fireflies" / shown above) loves their designer and kaiju vinyls, what with the appearances of characters from MAD and Max Toy Company peppered throughout the video, amidst retro tin toys! Sometimes it does pay to vegge out in front of the teevee! ~ And so I had to track this video down, and yes, CLICK THRU for screengrabs galore!
MADL: Phase 3's Aidamon and Slam party-on!
Jure Gavran's Scapegoat Billy letting it all hang out!
Max Toy Co's Captain Maxx, Tripus and Xam gets their screen-time (well, more for Tripus :p)
Eyezon gets to be up-close-and-personal with singer Adam Young!
... or maybe he's giving Adam some musical-tips? I dunno... heh
WIKI-DESCRIPTION: The music video for "Fireflies" was directed by Steve Hoover. It features Adam Young playing the song on his old (80's) synthesizer in a toy-filled bedroom, where most of the toys (including an astronaut, toy cars, and a blimp) come to life. It is worth noting that all the toys are old toys, most of them from the 1970s and '80s. There are also vintage household devices such as an analog television and record player. [via wiki]
FYI: "Fireflies" by Owl City is taken from their 2009 album, "Ocean Eyes".
