The music video for Mark Nevin's latest track follows singer-songwriter Dolly Parton as she fights Elvis Presley's manager for the rights to her song, I Will Always Love You.

Animated and directed by Heather Colbert, the video accompanies Nevin's Dolly Said No to Elvis track.

It is based on the true story of Parton refusing to let Presley cover her award-winning song, I Will Always Love You ? later made famous by Whitney Houston. The story follows his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, trying to get the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights.

"Mark was really passionate about championing this story as a tale of female confidence, and self-belief, as it must have taken so much strength for her to say no to 'The King' at that point in her career," Colbert told Dezeen.
Colbert, an animator based in Cambridge, had previously worked with Nevin on another stop-motion music video, Sparks (Edith Piaf Said It Better Than Me).
