Alcest - L'Envol
I had the immense pleasure of creating the cover art for Alcest's 7th album, "Les Chants de l'Aurore". The album will be released on the summer solstice, June 21.
Neige asked me to reinterpret Sydney Long's beautiful painting "The Spirit of the Plains". "Les Chants de l'Aurore" - Oil and gold leaf on paper.
Model: Psyché Ophiuchus

Here are some images extracted from Alcest's latest music video, L'Envol", an 8-minute music video that I directed alongside Psyché Ophiuchus and Cedric Lenfant.
It was inspired by the aesthetics of the golden age of illustration that I cherish so much, especially Ivan Bilibine, Heinrich Lefler & Joseph Urban. It is obviously tinged with Art Nouveau and symbolism, my first artistic loves. And it also pays tribute to Japanese animation and illustration, a source of inspiration for both Neige and us.
We tried to treat each scene like an animated painting, a composition one can pause on, with the absolutely insane constraint of animation which involves creating dozens of drawings for every second.
"L'Envol" comprises 8000 photos taken on the night of June 21, 2023, with Psyché, from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am, at a rate of one photo every 5 seconds. 8000 photos reworked and assembled to create the magical time-lapse of that solstice night. It features a bird puppet, costumes, and a choreography interpreted and rehearsed for hours by Psyché. And it includes 6690 colorized drawings made over 5 months by Cedric Lenfant and myself.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
Thanks to Neige for entrusting us with the creation of this film!
