Lori Dorn, Laughing Squid:
Mario Wienerroither has taken the famous half-animated video for the A-HA song “Take On Me“, strategically stripped the music out and dubbed in appropriate reactive sounds. Without the music, the lighthearted romance of the original video was gone and a more sinister theme took its place.
It’s not exactly a traditional story, but it certainly is interesting. This was the first example of rotoscoping I ever saw. I think it still holds up after all these years.
Spooky (the hair I mean).
Lol, love the instrument overdubs.
This is a new thing? I thought that video was always a glass half-full or glass half-empty affair.
