Watch: Stunning Animation in Odesza's 'Light Of Day' Music Video

This stunning animated music video is absolutely worth watching - we're premiering it as a short this week. Electronic duo Odesza have released a new album called "The Last Goodbye", and with it they released this music video for the track "Light Of Day". The animation tells the story of a frail old man who notices a golden glow on a mountain in the distance. “I was fascinated by the idea of ​​this very old character who somehow rejuvenates himself during his struggle to experience something magical,” says director Balazs Simon. It is animated to look like a painting, similar to the feature films Loving Vincent and Charlotte. The resulting film is a mix of "hand painted backgrounds, in-camera effects, motion capture" and it's absolutely stunning. Great job from the whole team on this one. We have already presented many spectacular animation music videos as short films, including Yu Su's "Melaleuca" or L'Impératrice's "Hematoma" recently. Enjoy.

Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for advice on this online launch. Director's Introduction: "This film is about focusing on the values ​​of life and not giving in to the pressures we face every day. I wanted to harness the immersive qualities of 3D animation, but also make it more painterly than The result is a mix of hand-painted backgrounds, in-camera effects, motion capture – and tens of thousands of algorithmic brushstrokes in every frame!” Odesza's "Light of Day" video is directed by animator Balázs Simon - a Hungarian director based in London. You can see more of his work on his Vimeo or follow him on IG @notbalasz. This animated video is produced by Máté Barbalics, and executive produced by Josef Byrne. Made by the Blinkink agency.
