Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out" was Odell's first hit video in 2004. Ever since then he has been a distinctive voice in the world of motion design. In Take me Out he uses 3d and 2d imagery throughout to establish the rock/indie sound of the track. Essentially, he combines live action with a mix of animation. Odell has also constructed some animator videography for the likes of Madonna.
In Goldfrapp - "Strict Machine" he strongly uses the theme of symmetry combined with geometric shaping and Dada-esque graphics which effectively establishes his style and provides the abstract form of which he presents the tracks he directs.
