Was browsing Adrian Bamforth's site and this blew me away, story boards for his 2000ad Ad idea based on Take on Me" music video by AH HA.



check out the ad here, have your speakers on for the audio: http://home.contextshift.co.uk/~adrianbamforth/animation/takeonme.html


from Adrian's page about the ad:
2000AD Web Ad - Version 1
For those who, like me, lament that there's never been any real animation based on 2000AD characters (apart from the odd dodge TV ad). The idea behind this ridiculously time-consuming project is to create an animated ad for 2000AD which might raise the profile of the comic on the Internet (and perhaps my profile as a comic artist) - though really I just thought up the idea and can't let it slip by!

This is version 1: the animated storyboard, basically a couple of days work, but enough that you should get the idea. I plan to draw every frame, except for the beginning and end, which will be live action (if anyone wants to film those parts, or if you just want to praise me, please get in touch - remember, whoever plays the lead role gets the reward of having their likeness animated).

I believe Adrian did this about a decade ago or more; I presume he never got to finish it.

Have a vague memory of seeing it before - would have been such a mammoth project for someone to do.
