Take On Me

The official music video for a-ha "Take On Me" was filmed in 1985 at Kim's Café (now called Savoy Café) (on Wandsworth Road, London SW8), and on a sound stage in London.The video used a pencil-sketch animation / live-action combination called rotoscoping, in which the live-action footage is traced over frame by frame to give the characters realistic movements. Approximately 3,000 frames were rotoscoped, which took 16 weeks to complete.
