Daft Punk's Works

Daft Punk was involved in many projects, any of which include the use of their image, music, or both. An example if a use of their image would be their compilation of music videos titled "D.A.F.T.: A story about Dogs,Androids, Firemen, and Tomatoes". The peculiar title was based off what was featured in the videos: dogs from "Da Funk" and "Fresh", androids from "Around the World", firemen from "Burnin" and tomatoes from "Revolution 909".

Another project that featured their music, not just as its soundtrack, but its whole audio for the animation would be "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem". This animation, which was animated under the supervision of manga drawer Leiji Matsumoto, used the album "Discovery" to animate scenes using each track of the album. It was a sci-fi animation that had a plot, but used Daft Punk's music for audio.

A project that used Daft Punk's image as a robot is "Daft Punk's Electroma", in which "Hero Robot" no 1 and 2 were Bangalter and de Homem-Christo's robot image. The robots try to become humans, but fail and run away in exile.

Although Daft Punk's projects are mainly films, they also have worked with Freestyle Games and Activision to put themselves in the game "DJ Hero", in which they have their own venue, playlist, and characters to play.

A recent project of theirs was working on the soundtrack for the movie "Tron: Legacy". This includes the tracks "Derezzed" and "End of Line". The duo also make an appearance in the movie in one scene where they work as disc jockeys t the End of Line club.

Daft Punk's projects would also include such things as advertisements. They have advertised for GAP clothing, Cartoon Network's Toonami time slot, Sony Ericsson and them promtoting the Premini Phone, and Adidas and their line of Star-Wars themed clothing. All of which used their image, music or both.

Daft Punk has also produced music for other artists. They have produced the Teriyaki Boyz debut single "Hertbreaker" on their album "Beef or Chicken?", which contains a sample of the single from Daft Punk "Human After All". Later on they produced N.E.R.D.'s song "Hypnotize U". These projects Daft Punk has done, deal a variety of tasks to them, but all of which use 2 things: their image and music.
