with a very iconic music video.
With budget of 100,000 British pounds, the video had a two-day shoot and required extensive post-production for its animation. The cartooning process used in the video is called rotoscoping, a method originated by animation pioneer Max Fleischer in 1915. The technique involves using a rotoscope machine that allows an animator to draw over live action film, resulting in the movement in the cartooning being more fluid and lifelike - today the technique is easily done on a computer by animators. In the "Take on Me" video, the process is seamless as the two leads interact, in and out of animation.
I like the way the animation aspect is just basic pencil in black and white and the cartoons themselves are quite minimal yet they depict the two characters in detail.
