Daft Punk - Infinity Repeating
Winner of ‘Best Animation in a Video’ at the UK Music Video Awards 2023.
I teamed up with Picnic Studio to work on the award-winning music video for DAFT PUNK and Julian Casablancas’ unreleased collaboration: Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo). The second of two tracks they recorded for Random Access Memories which celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2023. Directed by Warren Fu, produced at PARTIZAN and created in collaboration with two other amazing studios - H5 and LIGHT.
We created the animation featured in ACT 1 of this evolutionary walk cycle, taking the infinite avatar from proto-animated cave paintings all the way through to 80s Anime. It was a tremendous honour to work with everyone on this project and as you can read in the credits, it was a labor of love by many talented friends of ours around the globe.
