A team of 49 students from the University of Newcastle have re-imagined Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' video in animated form. Watch it below.

The students have rotoscoped the original footage - meaning they've traced over it frame by frame and then gone off script and provided their own individual style. The result is as eclectic and impressive as it sounds.

As the video's description explains, the students "were each given 52 frames of Taylor Swift's Shake it Off and together they produced 2767 frames of lovingly hand-drawn rotoscoped footage."
