Join Alexander Thompson on this steam-punk mystical music video for L’Orange, featuring Del the Funky Homosapien. Mixing the past and future, we are delivered to the common AI conundrum of creating life without having the foresight of the consequences. Somehow unfazed by the result, we wonder if this was the ultimate goal of this interplanetary conjurer. Thompson nails the retro sci-fi stylings with faux film grain, vintage style lenses and a few moments of cel animation to satiate all our animation cravings.
