Two words: twerking burgers. Students at the University of Newcastle in Australia were asked to animate 52 frames of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” music video using the rotoscope method, a technique that involves drawing over the footage by hand. The results are a wild, beautiful mix of artistic styles and weird creatures like octopus ballerinas, robots and dancing burger-people. If there were any way to improve upon T.Swift’s work, then this is definitely it.
