Take on Me: Literal Video Version

excerpt from time.com:

In this remix of the video by Dustin McLean, the lyrics repeat exactly what is occurring on screen. "Everything's drawn and super 80s," croons the singer when the woman first enters the comic (the technique used here is one called rotoscoping, which essentially draws over footage of actual people; Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was one of the first major films to use rotoscoping, while more recent examples include A Scanner Darkly and Waking Life). "I'm going to kick some ass with my own pipe wrench," when the leather-clad dude pulls out his weapon (where the hell was he hiding that one?). And, the most brilliant line in the video—"Band montage!"
