The clip really is a trip (check it out on the website) and of course the work put the two young guys on the map. But even though L.A. is full of overnight success stories, R&V didn’t get to the top right away. For the next few years they built a reputation as very talented and reliable animators and creative designers.

“It’s really a great streak of luck that we got to work with people as talented as Roman Coppola, Mike Mills or Sophie Muller. They are a constant source of inspiration and it is just great to be involved in their projects and play fly on the wall and watch them work” tells Juan. Not that the directorial work of the duo has to hide R&V really have a great modern sensibility and a unique voice. After the Enon clip got much attention the first assignments started to drop in.

The latest work, a little New Yorker chase story for young singer Fefe Dobson had all the works to become a summer hit and get heavy rotation on MTV: a great Prince-like song, an incredible powerful performer (think Avril Lavigne meets a young Janet Jackson) and a flashy music video that even got reviewed by the New York Times. But alas, it hasn’t happened so far. But there is no doubt in anyones mind that it is only a question of time until Juan and Arya will make it big. You heard it here first.
