Music video
An animated music video for "Magic" was directed by French directing duo Double Ninja and produced by Cumulus. Telling a tale of love and creation, the gold-dipped CGI-clip was inspired by the ceremony scene in American film director Stanley Kubrick's final film, the erotic thriller Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The pair planned on creating something in a similar vein in a golden 3D setting. This proved to be particularly challenging as gold reflects light, and in three-dimensional space light can bounce all over the place.
