We Have Band. You Came Out

Bodycopy:

Directed by David Wilson in collaboration with Wieden + Kennedy. Shot over 2 days and stop frame animated from 4,816 still images without a single moment of video footage!

Making Of:

"The face paint animation film is made up of 4,816 separate stills. Each and every frame was hand-painted, shot, wiped off and redrawn, slightly differently for the next frame in order to create a seamless sequence. This time-consuming process involved the band members lying still for two consecutive days in a studio.
In order to animate the singing bit, lip movement was created by animating a painted mouth on the singer Dede. This involved breaking the lyrics into phonetics and giving each sound a specific mouth shape. To make this as realistic as possible all the mouth shapes were painted on Dedes face individually and then shot."
