Swedish classic/progressive rock supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA - featuring members of metal frontrunners Soilwork and Arch Enemy - have partnered up withClassic Rock UK to premiere the animated music video for the band's brand new single, "Gemini".
The video was created by Elia Cristofoli aka Solingo (www.facebook.com/eliasolingo)
Commented singer Björn Strid: "Elia has done a terrific job capturing the vibe of this song with his amazing animations. He had one month to complete it and worked day and night. This video showcases a relationship drama set in space, with an epic twist. The colors and the characters are amazing and also very mysterious. My personal perception of the animation is a slight He-Man-goes-to-Russia feel (or is it She-Ra??). Absolutely fantastic! Enjoy!"

Added Cristofoli: "When Björn asked me for a fully-cartoon music video in 80's style, with so many intergalactic babes destroying alien monsters, a joker grin drew on my face... I love 80's cartoons like He-Man, Ken Shiro, etc. Then David sent me the script with a storyboard. I read their story. These guys are out of control, I thought. Just as I like! I spent a few days studying the design of the characters and the spaceships, then I started drawing like a psychopath. I figure I was amused. I hope NFO fans like the video. Rock on!"
