I wanted to learn how to manage a narration with more action and animation. I’ve been a set designer for a long time, and didn’t want to make that the main focus of the project. I decided to integrate the concept of an « arena » in writing, literally, and play out the story inside a crater, on a desertic planet. This main environment, where all of the action takes place, acts as a symbolic metaphor. What’s meaningful to me in both image and music, is to immerse myself in the artists’ universe, understand their message and amplify it. Kas:st’s work always puts forward the notion of a struggle against an oppressive and repressive system. And to me, this music video sounded like a call to action.

Anne Raffin is an artist and director who has distinguished herself in animated films for adults and adolescents. Her demanding work and her ability to seize various graphic universes have led her to compose the sets of films and series with an international scope, from the airy ambiences of The Swallows of Kabul to the dark climate of Crisis Jung, through the realism of the Japanese heritage of Lastman. Her versatility and ingenuity led her to collaborate on projects that further enriched her repertoire, such as Arcane, an animated series adapted from the League of Legends universe for Riot Games, Mars Express, Jérémie Périn’s first feature film, or Love Death and Robots, David Fincher’s Netflix series, and the pilot of the series committed to the visibility of transgender and/or non-binary people, “Pour Exister”.
