While deciding on the best way to approach their latest video, The Killers jokingly considered Tim Burton. One thing led to another, Tim Burton agreed to their request, and he’s currently working on the creation of the video for their single “Bones”.

Burton shot the Killers’ performance on August 17-18 in Los Angeles, and according to their label, Island Records, he and a team of animators are now hard at work in London, creating an entire town and cast of characters that inhabit it. While additional details are scarce, the Killers say the clip features plenty of nods to Burton’s big-screen roots — including models, miniature sets and, of course, skeletons — but with a decidedly Vegas twist.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have a special place in my heart for stop-motion animation. It seemed tough and go for awhile there, so it’s nice that this form of animation is getting the resurgence it deserves.
