During the initial idea stage, we thought about experimenting with some stop motion animation. This would add the the fast, erratic style of the song. As the main character gets ready, his tie will knot itself.
Using a tripod and the camera, we set it up so that the camera was tilted 90 degrees facing the floor. Underneath the camera, we dressed a pillow in the suit. This was to avoid a messy animation caused by using a real body. The flat body meant we could direct the tie in any way we wanted.
Using the still image feature, we took photos of the torso. In between photos, we moved the tie a tiny distance each time. We took a total of 80 picture then uploaded the frames to MonkeyJam, a free stop motion programme.
I feel that it worked out well, however, I don't think it will be appropriate to use with our live actor. Or if we repeat the dressed pillow idea, it will be an obvious change in "person." We will not fully disregard it at this stage:
