A cool little black-and-white animation of a bunch of butterflies and a guy with butterfly wings flying around a city, going into orbit, and then speeding back down.

Nice!

Very effective animation style. Did you notice that it's not quite entirely monochrome?

I wish my French was better. I can never keep up with full-speed spoken French, and song lyrics are even worse since the rhythm of the music distorts the speech tempo (also pronunciation and emphasis are sometimes changed to make it scan.) So I could barely pick out a few words from the song. "Papillon" was one.

There is an old animation technique called rotoscoping which basically involves drawing and/or coloring a live action film, frame by frame. This video link gives a demonstration of the numerous effects that can be achieved. Today, rotoscoping is automated by computers.

Thanks for the recommendation.

(And, because I really like it when I see it: thanks for the description so we might know whether we have seen it before, and thanks for giving some reason for us to follow the link.)
