Deconstruct (and remix) BBtv's 8-bit animated intro

Tireless Valleywag gumshoe Paul Boutin has an exposé out today on those subliminally fleeting 8-bit characters you see in Boing Boing tv's new animated intro.

Adam "Ape Lad" Koford created 36 frames with iconic references to kooky stuff you find on Boing Boing, and filmmaker Syd Garon designed and directed the animation, which makes me smile every time I watch it. Sound by Carlos Bêla of Golden Shower, and logo critters by eBoy.

Paul's Valleywag piece includes a link to Syd's photoshop file with all the frames as layers, so you can remix (noncommercially/with attribution plz) to your heart's content. Link.

Whilst I have been a very interested watcher of BoingBoing in the past, I'm getting a little weary of the amount of self-referencing going on of late. You used to comment on the kookiness of the internet and the world. Lately you seem more interested in your own kookiness. I'm finding the recursiveness and self-reverence a bit tiresome. Sorry.

I was about to do this myself! Ha!
