Students Animate Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" Video, and It's Amazing

If you thought Taylor Swift's song "Shake It Off" was good before, then this video is going to blow your mind. Created by an animation class at University of Newcastle, the colorful music video was made by tracing over footage, frame by frame, of the original. Because each of the 49 students was responsible for animating 52 frames of the video, the finished product showcases a huge variety of artistic styles — and the result is incredible. Give it a watch and you'll be amazed by the effort these students put in to the project; the fact that over 2,700 hand-drawn frames can flow so beautifully is astounding.

Maybe Taylor will hire the entire animation class to draw her next music video!
