Daft Punk Insteller 555 Music Video.
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is a feature-length Japanese-French animated adventure musical film which was released on May 28th in 2003. The film is the visual realization of Discovery, which is an album by Daft Punk.
Each track from the album has been animated as an episode in the story of the abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band. The film was produced by Daft Punk, Cédric Hervet and Emmanuel de Buretel along with Toei Animation, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The film has no dialogue and minimal sound effects.
I remembered this music video as it is by one of my favourite musical artists, which is Daft Punk. I thought that this particular music video was relevant to this brief as this is all happening on another planet. The video starts off with four blue skinned people are performing to the song of "One More Time".
I really love the animation style for this music video, as to me it is like Japanese Anime, I love this because I think it makes the whole album better. I believe this is relevant to the brief as this is about Space, and it is something that I find to be rather intriguing and a beautiful piece of artwork at the same time. I like that the electronic beats go with that of the anime style.
