Plaid:
Watch and read about the 'Eyen' video

 


Jean-Luc Chansay surprised all here when his Eyen video arrived in the office. He has been a fan of Plaid's music for years and had already used their "Headspin" and "Tearisci" tracks to make a couple of promos, but nothing could have prepared us for this. Jean-Luc uses his 5-year-old daughter's drawings as characters to build a Plaid suited dream world where Chansay's story is animated to the lush "Eyen" track.

Here Jean-Luc goes into more detail about the video:

"Certain types of music and in particular Plaid is a great source of inspiration and energy for me. A desire to put images to music has meant that occasionally I have thrown myself into small self-initiated projects prompted only by my enthusiasm. Both a couple of years ago and last year I made 2 short animations using Plaid music, they saw them and that's how I got to know the group and where the promo for Eyen came from. The promo takes place in a little town where a strange machine creates every element, the viewer watches the creation of one of the town's characters, who is most upset to discover the soulless technology. This was a very special project because my 5 year old daughter Tess made all the drawings, and I borrowed some metal pieces from her mother, the sculptor Marie Mercier, which I used to make the machine and the backgrounds - It's like a family production! A Mac G4, AfterEffects5 and Combustion meant that in one month (with lots of nights) I produced all the sequences which make up the promo. But in truth it wasn't really work, the piece is fantastic, I'm a real fan of the group, and once again, it gave me inspiration."

(This is a translation from French, the original version is below)

"Certaines musiques et particulièrement celles de PLAID sont pour moi une grande source d'inspiration et d'energie, l'envie de voir des images sur la musique est tellement forte parfois que je me lance dans de petites auto-productions tout seul comme ça juste par passion. Il y a 2 ans et l'année dernière j'ai réalisé 2 courtes animations sur leur musique, ils les ont vu c'est comme ça que j'ai connu le groupe et qu'est né le clip d'EYEN. L'histoire du clip se passe dans une petite ville ou une étrange machine fabrique chaque élément de cette ville, on assiste à la création d'un des personnages qui découvre ému toute cette technologie sans âme. C'est une réalisation spéciale lorsqu'on sait que c'est Tess ma petite fille de 5 ans qui a dessiné tout les dessins, et que j'ai empreinté à la maman Marie Mercier qui est sculpteur les pièces métalliques qui m'ont servies à fabriquer la machine et les décors, c'est presque une histoire de famille! Un Mac G4, After Effects5 et Combustion m'ont permis en 1 mois (beaucoup de nuits) de produire toutes les séquences qui composent le clip mais ça n'a jamais été vraiment un travail,le morceaux est superbe, je suis fan du groupe, alors une fois de plus ça! m'a donné des ailes."
