" Prepare to feel a little bit crap about your productivity/artistic skills (only if, like some of us, you&amp;#039;ve spent the last 3 hours watching Friends re-runs and thinking about getting up to make some tea. Everyone else, give yourself a pat on the back. You&amp;#039;re doing great).\u00A0 A group of students at the University of Newcastle have decided against using their studenty time to eat excessive amounts of pizza and pretend to be focused in the library, instead creating something truly incredible. As part of their Animation 1 class, 49 students were given the task of remastering Taylor Swift&amp;#039;s music video for &amp;#039;Shake It Off&amp;#039;, each given 52 frames (around 3 seconds)\u00A0to animate.\u00A0 Through the art of rotoscoping - that&amp;#039;s tracing over video footage to animate, FYI - the students collectively created 2767 frames of hand-drawn footage. It&amp;#039;s now received over 80,000 views, so it&amp;#039;s fair to say that all the hard work - which, according to Buzzfeed,\u00A0took around a month to complete - paid off.\u00A0 Some students\u00A0went for bold colour and detailed shading. Others really went for it, and added in some octopus arms, a flying banana monster, and rockets. The end result is beautifully mad. We love it.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
