Toronto ani­ma­tion house Guru Stu­dio have just released a music video, pro­duced for Cana­dian “super­group” Crash Karma. Strongly based in the con­struc­tivist graphic design style, the video for “Fight” marks the studio’s first foray into music video production.

It’s a very inter­est­ing video, com­bin­ing the graphic design style of the early 20th cen­tury with a con­tem­po­rary tex­tured flair (plus, you know, the fact that it’s a video). The video tells the ani­mated story of the band mem­bers fight­ing “the forces of tyranny and oppres­sion in the form of a rock-like ogre” set to their anthemic song “Fight.” Com­bin­ing nar­ra­tive ele­ments of graphic nov­els and video games with highly orig­i­nal visu­als, what it may lack in the form of an orig­i­nal story it makes up for in com­pelling visuals.

Direc­tors: Yurie Rocha + Joel Tel­lier
