| The second single "Lifelines" was the second video that is based on a film by Morten Skallerud and had lots of prices around the world. Magne thought that it would be a great idea to show this film but with some animation techniques and they did. So the film is based on time lapse technique and takes you a long one year journey through a deserted village in Nothern Norway in 4 minutes and 25 seconds directed by Skallerud in 1991. The film technique was shoot in Borfjord a semi desserted village, they made a special animation as in "Take On Me", the result is a magic flight that passes by 50000 normal time speed that it took 105 days to shoot an a 12 minutes film.

The video is also available on for a cd room, this video is been aclaimed on MTV Rusia, especially. Lauren Savoy directs the new video for a-ha; Those who attend. The Ullevaal Stadium as me could notice that Lauren and their team were working very hard in the stadium , actually one day before the concert, when I had my interview with Mr. Waaktaar, she gave some instructions for record the concert and everything that happens back stage. THE STORY Thursday night Lauren made a call to Knut Helgeland at the "Toxic Design Studio", cause a-ha made the decision to produce a new video. -Lauren Savoy- "It´s certainly the fastest video production I´ve ever done" says Lauren: The shooting started alredy Friday with shots of Pal, Magne and Morten (I was there when that occurs, guau I can´t believe it my good look) but the bulk of video was shot before and during the Ullevaal concert, the three cameras teams were spotted on stage and amongst the 23 000 fans gathered at the venue for the opening of their "World Tour". The final shoots were done with Morten on Sunday (he looks actually quiete tired into the escenes of the dress rooms) this video was a production with Knut Jensen as co producer and Knut Helgeland. (finally a-ha comeback to do the greatest videos, cause the last ones with Zwarts were awful) ¡Lauren you made a great job! |
