A friend recently mentioned how great the rotoscoped animation was in the music video "Take On Me" by A-Ha. This video was directed by Steve Barron, pop video auteur extraordinaire.
"TAKE ON ME" - A-HA
(Steve Barron, 1985, 3:47 minutes)
There's even a Chris Griffin FAMILY GUY parody of "Take On Me" (thanks for the tip, Laurence!).
When I Googled his name, I found out he did a lot of other cool music videos. Like Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" and Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" ("Why, Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!"), as well as Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" That's quite a resume.
When I Googled his name, I came across this cool music viddy "Short Packed" for the band Deadly Fists of Kung Fu - but it turned out to be another Steve Barron:
