Music video
The music video for "Derezzed" was directed by Warren Fu. It begins as Daft Punk enters Flynn Arcade and approaches the ENCOM game called Derezzed. They insert quarters and start playing, with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo playing as Prog 1 and Thomas Bangalter as Prog 2. The music starts just as Bangalter presses his "start" button. The Derezzed game plays out as a joust with light cycles in the grid. As an indiscernible program watches the joust in the distance, Prog 2 wins the match. In the arcade, de Homem-Christo is disappointed. Back in the grid, Prog 2 is revealed to be Quorra (Olivia Wilde).
