Surely this must have been when some new "clip art for video" technology had just appeared?

The song slaps though.

The Quantel Paintbox is the usual suspect for early 1980s video graphics excesses:

The wireframe 3D graphics in that video must have been rendered in something else, though. Maybe it was made on Amiga with VideoToaster?

The original Amiga with its 8MHz 68000 CPU had just enough horsepower for that kind of 3D.

The song was released in 1986, which is years before the Video Toaster and the LightWave 3D software were released. They might have used an Amiga 1000 for some of it.

"Quantel Paintbox" is generally regarded as the most beautiful phrase in the English language, having taken the reins from "Cellar Door".
