Cafuné 'Tek It' by Crux
Promonews - 8th June 2022
Hold on to your seats and get ready to be taken on a magical fantasy ride by French animation studio Crux’s marvellous video for Cafuné’s viral hit Tek It.
The video is a beautifully stylised retro-futurist 80s-anime dream - all from the perspective of a cute black cat, smitten with their owner and jealous of their mysterious friend, who may or may not be their partner, who keeps taking them away from this envious claw-ready pet.
We follow the jealous feline into an imaginary world they dream up of swooping their owner off their feet in different trippy scenarios - including the imaginative kitty transforming into a charming cat-woman, singing to the moons for help, and using the Tek It track itself as a way to win their owner over.
The core of Crux are Frederick Venet and Natia Sopromadze - with Venet on directing duties, from a script by Sopromadze, who also produced the project. They have crammed so many surreal ideas and imagery into the narrative to create a gorgeous sense of hallucination and daydreaminess to match the sentimental vibe of the track. Definitely ones to watch.
