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.
Clim kickstarts 2015 with his new demo reel.

The French band Louise Attaque (Gaëtan Roussel, Robin Feix, etc.) broke up in 2006 after releasing the album “A plus tard Crocodiles”, which won the French Music Award in the pop/rock category. Useless to say that the release of the “Greatest hits” album called “Du monde autour” on October 24th is quite an event, with its two new songs.
It is an opportunity for the director Louis Clichy (animator on “Wall-e”, “Up” and “Ratatouille”, produced by Pixar) to sign a great music video with a very rough, rhythmic and sensitive style that fits the band’s energy perfectly. It is also his first music video as a director: what an event indeed! Louis Clichy, who is currently working on a very ambitious feature film (Asterix in 3D, co-directed with Alexandre Astier), offers himself a very creative blast: he loved the exercise. ChezEddy produced the video in only 22 days. Besides, animated sequences were created and shown at the mythic Ferber Studio in Paris and on the “Taratata” TV show.
The emblematic character of Louis Attaque, created by the bass player Robin Feix, is the video’s heroine. She pretty much suits what Louis Clichy likes to do: black and white, line drawing. “I’m rather close to that kind of style, the character is easy to draw, and offers real freedom. Actually, what mattered to me when I listened to the music was to find out if I could do something with it. The rhythm was important. The rhythm and, by extension, the music totally match the animation. Technically, it’s a quite simple film to make, pretty rough, very inspired. It is very pleasant to do, there is a lot of free tone”.
Along with the video, ChezEddy signed the animations in the collector DVD set “Du monde tout autour” that will accompany the forthcoming release of the music video.
