Glossy computer-based animation just didn't fit the image of hip-hop artist MF Doom, so Iguana Studios used actual video footage to develop a full-length vector animation for MF Doom's music video in the Flash format. The studio also managed to fit two minutes of full length, synchronized audio and video into a two megabyte file size to meet Shockwave.com's stringent requirements.

"This animation uses Flash to express music as a sequence of vectorized forms. The effects achieved in this video demonstrate great technical craftsmanship. It is a testimony to the benefit/cost ratio of Flash. When used intelligently, it affords great expressivity, at small file sizes." Heidi Dangelmaier, Hi-D
