  So funny you said Peter Gabriel sounds like Phil Collins.  They were both members of Genesis, until Gabriel left and Collins, who used to be on drums, took his place as vocalist.

  Special effects were intentional. No tweaking people. Revolutionary at the time. Stop motion animation dates back to the 1920's.

  At the time, Peter Gabriel was by far one of the most experimental Artists out there, sonically for sure, but also with his videos… this one is basically “stop motion”, which is a technique still used in movies like “Coraline”,  ‘’Nightmare before Christmas”, or some of the early TOOL videos… it’s super time-consuming and for sure an Artform in its own right.

  Peter Gabriel was half of the genius of the early "Genesis".  Everything he did afterwards was musical genius in its own right.

  This was the artistry back in the 80's. It was the MTv era. Wild zany and wak was the coin of the day. Peter Gabriel was the original singer of the band Genesis. This song won 9 Mtv music awards at the 1987 M T.V. music awards. He's quite an accomplished singer songwriter, producer.

  As soon as I seen the song in the title I knew Brad would be freaked out by the video.  One of the  most  iconic videos of the 80's,

  One of the best music videos of all time.

  This video was made by using 675,000 individual still photos, assembled into a moving collage. One thing to notice is that while the video is speeding along with stop motion effects,  if you focus on Peter Gabriel's lip movements, they are totally in sync with the lyrics being sung... which puts them out of sync with the speeding video... genius level editing.

  Not the reaction to stop-motion animation I was expecting; this was a very innovative and influential video at the time.
