For the “Wonderful Life” music video project for the French singer Imany, ITAK had to capture the essence of the song’s message through a visually captivating narrative. ITAK created a dreamlike video that centered around a heartfelt story of a mother and son. The objective was to combine beauty and emotion, while also paying tribute to the positive world of tomorrow. The video had 1.2M+ views on Youtube in 1 year. The combination of a heartfelt narrative, stunning visuals, and powerful symbolism made the video a standout representation of Imany’s music and message.
