“Sound has a heart. Being spherical, it has a center. It’s the center of the heart.” Whoa. Time for something trippy and mesmerizing. I tend to be drawn to these kind of distinctly unique animation creations, exploring visuals & ideas that can’t always be described in words (more in our short film archives). French production studio Eddy has debuted their latest animated music video – for the song “Au Coeur du Son” (meaning “In the Heart of the Son”), by saxophonist Rémi Fox. It’s less of a music video, more of animated short film which has a very peculiar narrative. Dive into a fascinating journey with Cesare, a young musicology student enchanted by the mystical words of a mysterious professor. The video is directed by a duo known as “Marie & Lucas” – exploring the depths of music and the human soul, mixing mystery, art and transformation. The animation style is extra vibrant and it features magnificent hand-drawn backdrops. It’s definitely the kind of short film to watch when you pop an edible or a glass of wine at the end of the day and are relaxing at night.
Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this short film / music video debuting. Here’s the complete story intro via Vimeo: “Cesare, a young musicology student attends the screening of an archival video presented by a strange professor. As the video moves forward cesare is more and more entranced by the thoughts and philosophies presented by the speaker. Silvia, his classmate, witnesses Cesar’s metamorphoses, who finds himself irresistibly pulled toward a mysterious castle haunted by the ghost of an old man.” The animated short film for Rémi Fox’s “Au Cœur du Son” is directed by filmmakers Marie Larrivé & Lucas Malbrun (aka Marie & Lucas) follow them @marielarrive and @lucasmalbrun.
