Took a bit of digging, but this is what I was able to find out:
And Jon Tucker's IMDB also has him listed as working on "animation sequences" for Tool's Salival too, which featured the Ænema, Prison Sex, and Sober videos with the similar looking stop motion in them.
Now, whether Jon Tucker actually created the stop motion sequences for all those video, I can't find specific confirmation for, but he was clearly involved with both bands and worked on all those videos in some capacity. He has no connection to Static-X that I can see though.
But good eye!
Edit: Found Jon Tucker's production studio website, which claims it's "most known for its stop motion cinematography effects". And the site even has a show reel, which features clips of the stop motion from the Sepultura and Tool videos, also saying Jon Tucker is credited as "director of photography" for all the videos in the reel, and "in many instances he additionally served as supervisor and/or director".
So yep, it was indeed the same production studio which made the stop motion for those Tool and Sepultura videos. I wonder why this info was so hard to find though, since if I was Jon Tucker, I would constantly be name dropping those bands, and bragging about being the one behind those classic 90s music videos! :P
If you like this you may like Alien Weaponry. I love it when heavy metal bands don't forget they have a drummer.
Did they hire the same person who did Tool and Static-X's claymation vids?
