In 1983, the sticky song "Take on Me" successfully stormed the charts in her native Norway, but had no success on the world market. [Steve Barron,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Barron) who shot the video for this track, changed the situation. The director used the innovative at the time [technique "Rotoscoping"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping) - combined filming and animation. For four months, the artists made 3000 pencil sketches and turned them into a cartoon.

The work paid off in full - the video brought A-ha first place on the Billboard chart. The romantic story drawn [by Morten Harket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morten_Harket) continued in the band’s next clip, ["The Sun Always Shines on TV".](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_Always_Shines_on_T.V.) Steve Barron, by the way, made half a dozen more videos for A-ha, but they are, in my opinion, far less interesting.
