The music video for "Écarlate" by Visrei is an exploration of inner conflict and self-reconciliation, inspired by martial arts and the yin-yang philosophy. Directed by Jean-Guillaume Bastin and Yang Shi, it features dancers Evelynn Yan and her alter ego Misheel Ganbold, in a choreographed duel that symbolizes the clash and harmony of opposing identities. With minimalist backdrops and styling that contrasts light and dark, the video seamlessly blends movement and music, capturing the emotional journey toward balance and self-acceptance. We used a robot arm to follow the movement and the fight sequences truly.
Fun fact: We even designed a film poster for this music video inspired by gong fu posters.
