GRIZZLY BEAR – KNIFE

PRODUCTION UPDATE 11.28.06

So, we’ve built everything and animated everything, which means we have to glue it together. We just spent a solid nocturnal week in the Santa Cruz Mountains hidden away from distracting humans in order to finish all the animation and we are very pleased as we hope you all will be. Below, you will see what the guys look like when they are taken out of New York and put in Death Valley. Also pictured is a snippet of the machine which they will be operating and some tendrils that creep out of the Geologist’s chest during the healing ceremony. There’s also a rock that turns angry and two shots involving the merging of the stone woman with the environment. The next update will be a completed video. Yay!

PRODUCTION UPDATE 9.21.06

Death Valley is hot. We wouldn’t recommend going there to shoot a music video. But we did, and it was tough and we got desert madness and Sean split his head open and there was much nakedness and much futzing with makeup, but we made no compromises and we are very excited about the footage – of which two samples can be seen below. Now we just gotta build the scale model of the machine and the ceremony tendrels and animate them both.
