“Patrick had strong ideas about the look of the eyes and skin and how the faces should glow from within. The eyes were not only enlarged but the left and right eyes were composited together from different takes to add to the surreal nature of the video. We tried several looks of glow: experimenting with LEDs under the skin and working our way towards an effect where we showed an increasingly bright, hidden light source. We ultimately decided that each band member would have different parts of the face brighten and that those bright areas would get lighter and grow in size until the whole face was engulfed. Once the faces were sorted out, we worked on incorporating glows in the mouth and integrating the explosion, fire, and hair elements.”
