"Take On Me" (dir. Steve Barron, 1985) music video for A-Ha

This is actually the second video made to advertise "Take on Me", after the first attempt failed to chart the band A-Ha. It took 16 long weeks to hand draw 3,000 frames, using the technique of rotoscoping, which involves drawing over live-action footage. The result is one of the most iconic music videos in history, with over 1.2 billion views on YouTube.
