What they would have done in this video, is instead of the blue sheet, you go into each frame painting out what you don't want to see. It's called Rotoscoping, I *think*... I do a lot of this shit, but never on this scale. It's very well done. I wish more Queen filmclips were done in this style though... Lord knows they have the budget to do this kind of basic (but time-intensive) effects work... heck, they could even do Freddie "Gollum" style. I just wish the videos would have more effort put into them as opposed to yet another DoRo video.

That is REALLY clever what they did, looks like he IS on stage with them and when Freddie finishs and walks off it's like he's REALLY walking off the stage.... What was this made for? Also does anyone know when and where this all took place?

Well, I suppose the people who organized it invited him.

as it began wrote: This made me really sad. Ugh I've been having a bad week too. I love you Freddie! No words could describe the impact he has had on my life.

Adam Baboolal wrote: Spot-on with what it is Zeb. Rotoscoping is WAY older than 15 years, though. The lightsabers in the original Star Wars films were done in the same way. So, that makes it at least 30 years.

The Visible Man wrote: this was broadcasted on the german television channel "kabel 1" on the 15th may. It was a two hour show called "queen - die show" (queen the show). Guests were jim hutton, rudi dolezal, peter freestone, the german ensemble from the we will rock you musical. klaus maine from the scorpions and two other german celebs. Interesting for me was, that roger and brian sent a video message in which brian was in a music studio. So it seems that there really may be a studio album in the future. But that is only my thought. After the show they aired a one hour biography about freddie mercury. Some new interviews i have never seen before. For example a very extended interview with freddie from 1987 where he stands near the jukebox. Not just the parts which are widely known. Hope you know what i mean. I have the show and the biography on tape. If someone is interested in it, just ask. Of course its all german and with commercial breaks. But the original voices can still be heard, so it's possible to listen to the english original comments, i guess... excuse my bad english ;)
