Eddy Animation is a production company founded in 2015 that represents animation film directors for music videos, advertising, game cinematics and fiction.
Directors alternate between personal projects where they explore their directorial vision and visual creativity, and commissioned films, where their experience and their love of innovation are further developed. It’s not a technique or style that defines us, but the synergy between the artistic approach and the story.
Our philosophy is to nurture and encourage our director’s artistry. The idea of constant progression towards a goal defined together drives us forward. In a world saturated with images and communication, we are convinced that the collaboration between a director and their team is as important as the support of their artistic vision. This alignment is the key to our success.
Our goal is to develop original stories, both for fiction and for clients, and this cannot be done without our team of artistic directors, screenwriters, copywriters and graphic authors who are at the heart of the studio.
Since 2015, Eddy Animation has produced music videos for artists like Gorillaz, Ariana Grande and Breakbot, but also Christian Rich (winner of the gold price at Club des DA and the winner at Berlin Music Awards), Anne Muller (Silver Winner at the Shots Awards, Gold Winner at Club des DA and shortlisted at Ciclope) and even M (awarded at the Berlin Music Video Awards festival).
Eddy Animation has become an industry leader in the video game cinematic industry and has collaborated with Ubisoft, Riot Games, Bethesda, PUGB, Nacon, and Lilith to name a few.
We have equally worked with emblematic brands such as Chanel (shortlisted in the Ciclope Festival 2023), Diptyque (Bronze Winner at the Shots Awards 2023), Bentley, Hermès, MAIF, Amnesty International, Red Cross and the Monnaie de Paris.
Eddy is thrilled to present Nummer 2, an animated music video by director duo Faux Soleil with music by Anne Müller. Faux Soleil was inspired to develop Nummer 2 after listening to cellist Anne’s album Heliopause.
Nummer 2 alternates between microscopic scenes of animal life, where formerly extinct species have mutated and thrive, and vast, sweeping landscapes. The rhythm is contemplative, building a sense of place, an atmosphere. The render is at once graphic and photographic, inspiring a sense of familiarity and distance.
Directed by Faux Soleil
