Daft Punk share storyboards for “Around The World”
The original music video was directed by Michel Gondry and released in 1997.
Daft Punk are, of course, broken up. While that remains a sad fact of life, the iconic French electronic duo still have a vault of goodies from across their near three-decade career to comb through. The most recent release is a slideshow of the official storyboards for the music video for their 1997 single "Around The World." The clip was directed by Michel Gondry, the French filmmaker who went on to create Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You may have seen the storyboard video before on the 1997 DVD D.A.F.T., but it's streaming below on YouTube offically for the first time. Check it out via Pitchfork.
Daft Punk broke up in January 2021, announcing their departure with a video titled "Epilogue." Their final album Random Access Memories was released in 2013. In February 2022, they streamed a concert filmed in 1997 on their official Twitch channel.
