The song is accompanied by an animated music video directed by Michel Gondry (Daft Punk, Radiohead, The White Stripes) and Olivier Gondry, created in collaboration with WePresent, WeTransfer\u2019s editorial platform.

I left as soon as I could, only to realize the fishbowl didn&#8217;t exist&#8230;just the fish, and they&#8217;re everywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><br><br>The video was painstakingly pieced together over a period of weeks, with Michel held up in his LA studio, cutting out hand-drawn bits of paper into characters and shapes, arranging them on lightboxes, and filming from above on his iPhone before sending everything to Olivier in Paris, where he\u2019d then take the collages and bring them to life through CGI. Michel told WePresent, \u201c<em>Olivier and I were excited to work on this because we use completely opposite techniques. I work with a primitive system of cutting paper and moving it under the lens frame by frame. Olivier then transforms it by morphing, warping and CGI.\u201c\u00a0<\/em>Adding,<em>\u00a0\u201cBasically, in the first part we try to illustrate the lyrics as close as possible, to create the world, and then in the second half&#8230;they go to the moon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the creation of the video, Talbot explains:\u00a0<em>\u201cMichel\u2019s work is handmade and it&#8217;s human and that&#8217;s something that our society pushes against: you need to be perfect. You need to look perfect and everything needs to be seamless and strong. But actually, vulnerability and naivety are strengths. To be vulnerable and to be naive is to have empathy. And so, to empathize with your adversaries and allow yourself to be naked on film or on record is a really strong thing to do. It liberates you and it also liberates your audience. That&#8217;s something that I hope that IDLES can do, and that Gondry&#8217;s been doing for years.\u201d<\/em><br><br><em>Model Village<\/em> follows the release of other \u2018Ultra Mono\u2019 highlights <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/idles-return-with-video-for-new-single-mr-motivator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mr. Motivator<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/idles-share-video-for-new-single-a-hymn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Hymn<\/a><\/em>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-qultjld-ejlihlkhu-d\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Grounds<\/em><\/a>, the latter of which earned a spotlight in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail19.com\/t\/j-l-qultjld-ejlihlkhu-h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NY Times<\/a>\u00a0(\u201c<em>What\u2019s a British post-punk band to do at a moment of black American protest that has spread worldwide?
