The ‘Easy Way Out’ video was directed by Darcy Prendergrast and the Oh Yeah Wow crew. Prendergrast spent 9 months working on the video that features a five-room house built from scratch for the video.
“We completely disregarded ‘good business sense’ and created a piece of art that would hopefully leave the viewer’s cerebral cortex sliding down the computer screen. From a visual perspective, we wanted to bombard our audience with magic. I’m a huge believer of in-camera trickery and have always been an avid fan of stop motion but those skills fused with those of our resident VFX wizard, Andrew Goldsmith, enabled us to create some pretty astonishing but deliberately understated animation”, Darcy said.
Meanwhile, ‘Something That I Used To Know’ is back at number one in the UK. The video has now had 88,741,053 views on YouTube. The album ‘Making Mirrors’ has now sold over 100,000 units in the UK.
