French animation crew Blackmeal have created a delightful, very emotional lyric video for Avicii's upbeat Waiting For Love, all about a boy and his dog, growing up in the shadow of war. 

The project came about when creative production agency Jelly London were approached by A Night Studio to animate a story which has strong echoes of Michael Morpurgo's anti-war classic War Horse. Then the talented Paris-based animation team pooled together their skills, employing a mix of traditional animation techniques and motion design to create the video.

Featuring gorgeous scenes and transitions to accompany the stunning illustrative style of Guillame Singelin, the final product - animated in only 10 days - really pulls at the heartstrings.
