Update: Heath Ledger Directed Modest Mouse Video

The animated clip for King Rat show whales fishing for humans (would that be “humaning”?) and is the latest directorial work from Ledger. Now you can see and hear it…

After initially getting tons of viral attention on MySpace and Youtube, the legal eagles stepped in and silenced the soundtrack. But a recent check shows the YouTube version back in action with full soundtrack — but no embed code allowing us to share it with you.

Proceeds from iTunes downloads for the first month will benefit the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society so the muting kind of puts a damper on things.

This is not Ledger’s first music video. He previously directed a clip for Ben Harper.
