[edit] Music video
Director:Candice Reckinger & Michael Patterson
The black-and-white footage and animation in this video was actually the inspiration for the animation of "Take on Me". It originated as an art project for college, and went on to influence the generation of MTV. The video concept was designed by the same producers who brought "Take on Me" into the video mainstream.
Most of the video was old footage with animation. The live parts with the band were filmed during a break in the band's tour.
