In this visually-captivating animated music video, director Lucy Dyson brings to life a dynamic 2D love story, adding a new dimension to DJ and music producer Dan Ghenacia’s track Rouge ou Noir.
The video draws inspiration from the circular imagery of the EP’s artwork, weaving the main protagonist in and out of mesmerising scenes as he chases a mysterious love interest from casino roulette tables to the dance floor, ending in an eventual happily-ever-after.
“It was important to me that the collage style animation had a lot of texture,” said director Lucy Dyson. “Frames were printed out then re-shot to give a particular texture I couldn't get digitally, and that we mixed up the mediums used by also incorporating rotoscoped video footage, to really push the surreal dream-trip experience. Taking the roulette wheel as my main visual cue I created a surreal trip through a casino in a playful cat and mouse pursuit of love! This idea lent itself nicely to a tropical ibiza tinged, psychedelic, James Bond-esque, licensed-to-love narrative.”
