In this new music video for Paris duo Chien Méchant, directors Marion Castera and Kelzang Ravach lead French studio Temple Caché into an acid-enhanced 80s nightmare, lacing live-action footage with an AI-generated graphic style.
Directors Marion Castera and Kelzang Ravach: “This video is an intoxicatingly kitsch ballad between two teenagers during a disco night out in the 80’s when, during a lunar eclipse, Barbarella reveals her true identity.
“The decision to set the story in this context (among the guilty pleasure of the clichés which shaped our teenage years in the eighties) appeared early in our dialogue with Chien Méchant. Along with it came all the pop/colorful intensity, and superficiality contained within TV shows about high school sweethearts.
“The production and animation teams shaped a tailored pipeline and workflow for this project, combining a mashup of live-action video, rotoscoping, animated 2D painting, and 3D models with AI used to sharpen our aesthetic, creating emotional sensations through transitions and art direction’s hypnotic effects.”
