Take on me - A-ha
The video for the 80's hit uses a process of animation called rotoscoping, where the artist projects footage frame by frame onto paper, and traces the figures in the video.
This style of animation is easier and quicker than traditional animation, where the artist draws the sketches without the help of previously shot footage. Because of this, it is very popular among amateur animators
I really like the style of drawing used in the video, because it resembles a comic book, and the sketches are drawn quick and confidently.
There is no 'behind the scenes' or 'making of' clip for the official video. However, there are other versions of the video which provide the public with the animating process and development of the post-production.
Harry Hill's version of the video is a comedic parody of the original. However, the quality is professional and the drawings just as good as the official video.
The following clip is an interview-type narration of the animation process, which used the rotoscoping animation technique to produce the drawings.
