Directed by Stefano Bertelli from Italy in complete lockdown (a filmmaker who’s also worked with artists like lovelytheband, Coyu & Moby, and Robbie Williams), the animated visual delivers an emotionally powerful and incredible imaginative take on quarantine-style videos.

A brilliant work of paper-cutout stop-motion animation, the video for “Little Things” journeys through a city on lockdown, offering glimpses into the loneliness of life in self-quarantine. But as the sweet and shimmering song unfolds, bursts of sunshine and magically beaming rainbows bring in an undeniable sense of hope. Featuring animated portrayals of Louis The Child’s Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett, the video ultimately makes a heartwarming statement on the transportive power of music and the possibility for connection in isolation.

Released earlier this month, “Little Things” was instantly praised by Dancing Astronaut as a “vibrant dance-pop smash." In creating the nostalgia-soaked duet, Louis The Child worked from a song initially penned by Jon Bellion, preserving some of the New York-bred singer/rapper/songwriter’s original vocals from their longtime friends Chelsa Cutler (who appeared on Louis The Child’s 2017 EP Love Is Alive), and Quinn XCII (who collaborated with the duo on their 2018 single “The City”), Louis The Child found new meaning in the song’s message of appreciation for life’s simplest moments.
“Although this song was started years ago, it feels like it couldn’t be coming out at a better time,” said Hauldren and Kennett. “As our daily lifestyles adapt to the current state of the world, it seems to be the little things that mean the most right now. Things that we may take for granted in our normal lives seem important and impactful now.”
