Career [edit]
Growing up in the 1980s, the two were creating comic books, filming Super 8 movies and eventually toying with a video camera.[1]
The brothers have directed several music videos, including "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" by Of Montreal, "Experimental Film" and "Figure Eight" by They Might Be Giants--the latter of which features the Homestar Runner characters, most notably Strong Sad--and "LA Lindsay" by Y-O-U, the band who also collaborated with the brothers on Strong Bad Sings.
Matt has gone on to write and direct episodes of the shows Yo Gabba Gabba! and The Aquabats! Super Show!, as well as appearing in episodes of Gravity Falls. He and Mike are currently developing a show for Disney Channel and Disney Television Animation.[1]
