The song is called “Waiting.” The imagery portrays waiting. But how much patience do you think it took the artists to create live animation? Three months, actually, to complete the pencil-and-paper artwork. Each tiny movement is just a snapshot. You can see how difficult it must have been to get everything accurate! notice the subtle shakes of the camera being slightly off-center in moving shots. The shakiness adds a kitschy feel that molds well to the upbeat music. Also, note the Western music illustrated in an Eastern (Japanese?) setting. Marvelous juxtaposition, fabulous illustration. Simple black & white but such complex work.
