A video that brings the track to life by tossing in a good heaping handful of philosophy. Specifically, the narrative was based on a thought experiment called Mary’s Room which explores whether understanding colour scientifically is the same as actually seeing it.

That black and white basis immediately took our minds to classic cinema and, as Mary is a scientist in the thought experiment, the mad science films of years gone by seemed perfect. Young Frankenstein and Metropolis were primary references for everything from set design to acting to camera work, and the finished product benefitted from that clear vision.

Fun fact for you, the scientists were referred to as ‘Red’, “Yellow’, and ‘Blue’ throughout production which ultimately came to life in the colours of their bow ties. Tell your friends that one at the pub and they might just say “okay”. We like the little details.
