Description
The music video retains the style and reimagines the storyline of the original 1980s classic. The ad focuses on the motorcycle race. But with one neat addition. A Volkswagen.
We find out a guy was doodling VW pictures on a conference agenda he and his co-workers are going over in a business meeting. And much to everyone's surprise, he starts singing "Take On Me" in a high pitched voice.
"Is that me? Was I singing?"
The voice-over: "Not paying for scheduled maintenance feels pretty good. No-charge scheduled maintenance, now on every new Volkswagen. That's the power of German engineering."
The animation style uses a technique called rotoscoping, in which actual video footage is traced over to create the sketch look.
Fun fact: In the meeting, across the table is the woman and the "bad guy" from the animated world. The woman chuckles, and the bearded man looks on scornfully.
