Alex Takacs and Joe Nankin of Young Replicant. M83 a.k.a. Anthony Gonzalez personally chose the winning video saying "I like the atmosphere of this video. It fits perfectly with the music and lyrics and is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the song."

You can see the winning video on Pitchfork TV here.

Young Replicant is a teenage director's label and design collective consisting of Alex Takacs (Director, DP), Joe Nankin (Director, Producer), Adam Kauper (DP, Camera Operator), and Jackson Siedenberg (Special Effects). This video was directed by Takacs and Nankin. Their goal with this video was to interpret the pure, emotional essence of "We Own the Sky," and then communicate it through a simple story about young love, lens flares, and a confetti party. They set out to capture the beauty that lies between the daunting uncertainty and eternal optimism of youth, a theme prevalent in Saturday=Youth and one which resonates in their own lives.
