Thanks everybody. I painted the pictures with mspaint (which exists on any windows system) and animated them with magix video maker 2008 (which I bought for 20 euros some time ago, no professional stuff). You can do this with windows movie maker in almost the same quality. I made about 80 pictures for this video, only a few effects are from the magix software (e.g. the beginning camera view). All in all it took me about 10 hours (10 lunch breaks - definitely more time than for recording the song).

 Thorsten Hinrichsen, I do video for a living and if you did that animation in 10 hours, I can't believe it... Great Job, Great Song, Actually my Favorite on the album...


Thanx very much. It wasn't sooo much work as it looks, I drew only about 30 different pictures, the others (for the animation) are only slightly changed ones from the original drawings.
