Tulipomania: Who Let You Know?

animation, directed and animated by band members Cheryl Gelover and Tom Murray.

Director Biography - Cheryl Gelover, Tom Murray

Music videos directed and animated by Tulipomania have been featured in festivals throughout the world, including the Brooklyn Film Festival, Animation Block Party (Brooklyn), Animated Dreams
(Poland), StopTrik (Croatia, Poland), and the One Reel Film Festival (organized by the Seattle International Film Festival for the Bumbershoot music festival in Seattle).
In the past year, Blinks First was an official selection at numerous festivals, including Raindance (London), Aesthetica (York, UK), and the London Short Film Festival. Shooting Off the Set will
have its festival premiere at the Encounters Festival (Bristol, UK) in September. (A complete list of festival screenings is available on request.)
Tulipomania’s music videos have mostly favored the time-consuming animation technique of stop motion.
Composed of type and images culled from magazines and newspapers, Hold On and Blinks First contain thousands of individual collages on black construction paper, held together with
over 100 rolls of tape. Rumble Thud (created for a prior album) presents animated lights which reveal silhouetted objects in motion, while Don’t Be So Sure is the band’s first hand-painted
animation, featuring multiple passes of brushwork on thousands of individual sheets of black paper
