Director Jo Roy created a music video for Meg Myers' cover of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' where each of the 3,202 frames was turned into a coloring book page. Over 2,100 children from ten schools across the United States and Canada colored the frames using a production-provided palette. The final animation shows Myers on a whimsical space journey.
