Anne Müller “Nummer 2” Music Video by Faux Soleil and Eddy

Following up recent commercial work for Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Hermès, Eddy directing duo Faux Soleil (aka Simon Duong Van Huyen and Arthur Chaumay) animate a meditative and cinematic music video for German composer/cellist Anne Müller.

From the team at Eddy: “‘Nummer 2’ alternates between microscopic scenes of animal life, where formerly extinct species have mutated and thrive, and vast, sweeping landscapes.

“The rhythm is contemplative, building a sense of place, and atmosphere. The render is at once graphic and photographic, inspiring a sense of familiarity and distance.

“The storyboard and concept were a collaborative effort. Simon designed and animated the animals with a small team of animators. Arthur created the color script and backgrounds, drawing from a range of photographic, architectural and cinematographic influences.”
