Music video

Much like many of A-ha's early music videos, the music video for "Butterfly, Butterfly " was directed by Steve Barron, and features stop-frame animation by student animator Stefan Ramirez. The video shows the band playing under a bridge amidst clips from previous music videos for Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines on T.V., Manhattan Skyline and Cry Wolf intercut and projected onto the concrete pillars. The video ends with the band embracing one last time before leaping into the air, transforming into butterflies and flying away.
Barron said, of his involvement:
