Synopsis
A handmade figure moves through a dreamlike miniature universe of shelves, paper books, crafted objects and shifting cosmic imagery. The video favors atmosphere over a conventional storyline, turning the track's warm but anxious mood into a visual journey that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Stop-motion movement, hand-drawn 2D animation and tactile sets create a constantly changing landscape, while circular motifs and space-inspired imagery suggest cycles, memory and exploration. The result is a hypnotic visual companion that balances bright, playful details with darker, more uncertain feelings.
Factoids & Trivia
- The clip combines stop-motion animation with hand-drawn 2D work, giving the imagery a deliberately handmade, tactile quality.
- The production began with an early version of "Lighthouse" that NUMeROBe had performed live in Lille. The visual concept developed from the track's atmosphere rather than from a written script.
- The miniature world was built from physical materials, including shelves, objects and tiny paper books. A puppet was constructed around a welded copper armature.
- The production process took place over several months in 2013, with preparation from July through September and intensive animation work continuing in October.
- The video grew out of the creative collaboration between NUMeROBe and the BBBlaster visual project, which connected electronic music with handcrafted animation and live visual experimentation.
- The song's mood was described during the production as both warm and anxious, with bright and dark emotional qualities. Space and science imagery became recurring inspirations for the visual design.
