SURVIVIN'

A music video for the song was released on 6 October 2020, with a total running time of 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Directed by Reza, the video showcases an ambitious creative approach. Speaking about the creative process, he said: “Overall I wanted to give the video a grand feel, almost like it belongs on the big screen, and for that we had to build a city in 3D, lock all the camera angles and movements and then animate our characters over the 3D layouts. Animation is teamwork. I have to say I’ve been so lucky to work with an incredible team of artists from all over the world on this project. Without their dedication and attention to detail, there was no way I could have finished this ambitious piece.”
