Fraud in the 80’s

Mates of StateA few days ago I was reading the Apple Hot News RSS feed and came across a cool article about Arno Salters, a music video director. What caught my attention is he directed the video for Mates of State’s Fraud in the 80’s song. I happen to like Mates of Sate and so I checked out the video — this is some pretty crazy stuff. The video is a mixture of stop motion and live action filming. It’s actually pretty increadable. There are 5,760 still shots in the video, 2,500 of which Salters cut out by hand! It was on the Apple site because he used an Apple G5 PowerMac to edit and put the video together. It’s really a pretty cool piece of work.
