Kids crayon-colored thousands of frames to help animate this music video

What a cool idea! Here’s a music video for a cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” that over 2100 kids contributed to, by coloring with crayons.

An animated music video for Meg Myers’ cover of a Kate Bush song brings kid’s coloring books to life. Director Jo Roy first filmed Myers on a green screen, performing the crawling, climbing, and flying shown in the music video (see behind-the-scenes below). Then, each of the 3,202 frames was printed off as a black and white coloring book page. Elementary school-aged children from ten schools and an art program in the U.S. and Canada colored the pages however they wanted, with a provided crayon color palette.
