"I mine text and data to create great ad strategies, concepts and content." - Creative Algorithm
The music video for “Take On Me” by A-ha features a mix of sketched animation and live action. It was done by hand drawing 3000 frames, and took 16 weeks to complete. The video ended up winning 6 awards in the 1986 MTV Music Video Awards.
This effect is pretty striking. But who wants to draw 3000 frames by hand? What if we could automate this process? And what if we could summon the ghost of Pablo Picasso to draw the frames for us? It turns out that we can.
