Changes (for 6 Music)
The BBC has announced plans for a restructure of some of its services. As part of that restructure, 6 Music, a radio station that caters almost perfectly to my tastes, is to close. Adam Buxton, one of the DJs on the station, made a little song to encourage people to show their support and try to change the minds of the powers that be. I have made a little video for that little song. I have made it very quickly (by my standards) so it's a bit wobbly in places.
For more information on how to make your voice heard and maybe grant 6 Music a stay of execution, go to www.love6music.com and follow the steps there to contact the BBC Trust.
I thought it was fairly obvious, but apparently not. The man with the stripe on his face is meant to be David Bowie. The tune is David Bowie's "Changes" and the new lyrics were written and performed by TV's Adam Buxton with backing vocals by top pop motorway man Tom Robinson. I did the moving and the faces.
Any hair that you don't recognise, except for the Bowie one, is from Arealight's Custom Work - google for link.
A tutorial that describes the process for the face animation is linked on the description of my Fight Like Apes film. Go there for that.

Fuck your life I been eating some Doritos which are so god damn good
The video that introduced me to David Bowie. Thank you Oblong Pictures.
Rest In Peace David Bowie
Illustrator to draw the faces, After Effects to add them to the stop motion. And yes, backwards heads all the way.
I saw a guy dressed as Lego David Bowie at Bestival. It was amazing.
Still one of my all-time favorites on KZread.
That waza-waza brilliant! Great job Mr Buxton!
Saltman you are a legend. long live the castle, long live 6music. Big huggles for buckules!
I know it seems inappropriate with all the proper Bowie videos on KZread but today when the world has lost such a special person it's good that another great person can console us in his own unique way. Thank you Dr Buckles and thank you for the music Mr Bowie
That is quality. I'd like to think that's what saved 6 music, as Adam Buxton himself says. Genius.
Dude I love this video. It’s been years but I found it again! Thanks for this :)
love the man
dude amazing the song has been reborn! with new lyrics. Save 6 music!
I'm a non-UK viewer and I love 6 Music. Still drafting that email to the Trust in my head...
I'm glad you've finally done another proper great video after the years. Classic Oblong stuff ;-) This BBC 'restructuring' reminds me some actions of our public service TV broadcaster in the Czech Republic. Profit and pie chart success are more important than cultivate the viewers.
Absolutely brilliant!
Oh my gosh...that is one cool structure at the beggining...
BOWIE!! Great song!
Absoutely brilliant Adam and Chris. Fantastic work!
Brilliant! Save 6music!
Rest in Peace Zig!
Their theatricality is so superlative. I like listening with Brian Eno. Wuzawuz.
Immediately thought of this when I heard

I can't sing Changes without these lyrics anymore
Amazing! Outstanding animation and set design! You've outdone yourself!

Totally brilliant!
Holy crap, I love this song. Great remake. :)

Big love to Bucky Balls! Thankyou for helping save 6 music ^_^ now we just need you back on the Saturday morning slot with Joe and life is back to normal :)
Very cool
Chris Salt, I'm holding you personally responsible for me spitting out my drink with laughter and not being able to clear up the mess coz the animation was so good. Seriously tho, that was amazing! :D
Brilliant.

Iconic
Good song!
Most impressive.
OMG!! on ma playlist!!! x awsum! David Bowie 4evz
Must have been a hard job to mouth-sync so many figures. This is very well done and I like it a lot. Very creative.
I've never actually listened much 6 music but I will know. Oh and great animation
nice song
Absolute genius. Wuz.
Nice one , i like it..:-)
You are a possibly the greatest human ever.

Nice one Saltman!
Nice one :-)
Thats amazing!!! Wuzz! Wuzz! :)
Nice
Cool, the video was made by the Saltman! (Chris Salt, winner of A&J's Video Wars). I'm also not from the UK, but listen to 6music religiously and have filled in any form, petition and way of complaint I could find. Mark Thompson is a *expletive*. When are they giving us the final verdict? Surely, with all this complaint they can't close it. We'll have to start riotting if they do. Wozzawozza.
The set design is great!

Lol great vid!!!
you have the best mouth animation ever
This is highest order ultragenius #save6music!!!
@2010daigo1 You mean Bowie? His hair was made specially for this film and his head is just a blank yellow minifig head. The face was added digitally afterwards.
@AgentLego99 The grease dude's hair was from Arealight Customs. I don't think they're available anymore.
I would like that song in my mixer movie movie!!!
@AgentLego99 The hair was made for me out of Sculpy.
Ha! Nice work
@mjsalute Yes it is
Brilliant! Me puppet love the sixymusic. Jarvis cocker took his top off in le lourve?
Nice to see a British LEGO animation. I'm British but so few LEGo films are British, I noticed a minifig that looked like The Fonz at 1:59.
cool
Hahah! At 1:35! Well played, Anon.
Very David Bowie, I like very much. :)
@Jak1172 yeah!
@Ming64 The review is something like the 24th May but we won't actually hear their findings until months later - July is what I heard.
Chu chu chu chu changez! :D
I immediately recognised Pete Reid's work. With a genius like that in the set design department, how could the rest of the film not be bad?
It was obviously this piece of genius that saved the day! Huzzah Bowie Buxton and Bix Music.... sorry... needed to alliterate.
I could do with a Life on Mars Bar.
YES! ITS NOT CLOSING DOWN!
@0ldScratch no i mean the tune the orcastra in the backround because ive heard it before
fricking brilliant - really amazing how do you animate the mouths?
i like it and you have a ton of lego people and they hair pieces which iv got few
