Sebastien Tellier - Look

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

A stark black-and-white animation follows a woman walking away from the viewer against a blank white background. Her body gradually emerges from simple moving shapes, beginning with shorts and expanding into hair, arms, legs and other suggestive forms. As the song progresses, the clothing dissolves, while stars, diamonds and mesh-like patterns appear around her body. The video has no conventional storyline or dialogue; instead, it turns a repeated rear-view walk into a hypnotic, sensual visual rhythm closely synchronized with the music.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was created for "Look," a track from Sebastien Tellier's 2008 album "Sexuality."
  • Its visual design is built around extremely spare black linework on a white field, giving the animation the appearance of a moving ink drawing.
  • The animation runs for approximately 4 minutes and 9 seconds.
  • Rather than using a conventional performance setup, the video reduces the human figure to a sequence of transforming shapes and body fragments.
  • The erotic subject matter is presented through geometric symbols, clothing changes and visual substitutions instead of explicit realism, allowing the clip to remain provocative while retaining a deliberately elegant, stylized tone.
  • The video was initially circulated through television and an iPhone application connected with Record Makers.
  • The clip formed part of the promotional activity surrounding Record Makers' tenth anniversary.
  • "Look" was included in the 2011 UK Music Video Awards nominations for Best Pop Video.
