Mill+ animation director Aran Quinn teamed up with French singer, ‘song scribbler’ Samyel to direct and animate a striking music video for his recently released song Allumette.
Translated as ‘matchstick’, Allumette is a lustful story about a man’s burning desire for a woman, explored through the fire of a match.
Each character and object were animated frame-by-frame, creating a flickering aesthetic that lends itself to the raw and exposed nature of the lyrics within song.
Inspired by Renaissance sculptures and Ancient Greek art, Quinn paired this artistic style with a hot, primary color palette to produce a simple, yet striking animated sequence.
