Death Cab Video Picks: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

Death Cab For Cutie
I actually dreamt about these. I thought about what we were gonna be doing today and then I had video dreams. There were some that I made up too that were really bad...
Anyway, a video that I always love seeing is 'Maps' by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I thought that it was such an emotional video, the way it was shot. When we were looking for directors and treatments to do the video for 'Title And Registration' we met with the director of that video, Patrick Daughters, and he told us all about how on the day that they shot the video, there was something going on with Karen O. I'm not sure if she'd just gotten back together, or just broken up, but there was some emotional component to her relationship, and i think that her boyfriend or someone she was attached to was on the set, and this guy was behind the cameras, and she was looking into the cameras and she literally started crying for real during the course of this video. It gives me goosebumps to think about that fact that it's real. Whenever people can capture something real like that, and then have it make sense in editing and with the song... the whole composition of that project and that video has always stood out to me.
Actually, the Director Of Photography on this was Shawn Kim who directed the performance portion of the 'I Will Possess Your Heart' video.
