OK, this is a partnership that I never would have guessed at – but damn, it sure looks cool. 

A hip-hop song with an environmental message? A PSA
presented as a music video? A low-budget music video that combines
live-action, CG and illustration? Director Georgie Greville teamed up
with visual effects house Click 3X to create this truly unique
PSA/music video for the track ‘Trees’ from Dr. Octagon, featuring the
former Ultramagnetic MC, Kool Keith.

I also love this step-by-step showing how Click 3X and Dr. Octagon teamed up to do this dark and funky music video – on a surprisingly low budget. 

Check out these pix – this is the final look (very Tim Burton "Sleepy Hollow"):
