The group is named a-Ha (seriously!), the song is called "Take On Me". I don't know the name of the animator, but I've heard from one source that he's an anatomical artist. As is obvious, the animation is rotoscope. Still is damn impressive. One of the best videos to come along in a while. I especially liked the ALTERED STATES ending. Another really well done video to look out for is one by John Fogerty. I don't recall the name of the song, as I've only seen the video once, and don't have the album it comes from (CENTERFIELD). Anyways, it's about a pick-pocketing pig (I kid you not!). The video is done entirely in clay- mation by Will Vinton. It's absolutely astonishing! --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
