VEVO FOOTNOTES: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAKING OF GRIMES' "SHINIGAMI EYES" VIDEO
Sunday April 10, 2022
All you need to know about the video for “Shinigami Eyes”, by Canadian artist, Grimes: It was directed by BRTHR, it’s a Grimes tune, the video is colorful, and Jennie Kim from Blackpink makes a cameo. Literally all you need to know! Kidding. Kinda ({I adore Blackpink}. This whole video is INSANE in the best ways!
Grimes is one of those artists who continues to outdo herself every time she releases a video!
Since all you need to know is in the video below, I will just share my favorite footnotes from the press release:
0:14 “My friend Nusi Quero constructed this awesome throne out of human bodies. The shot happens so fast I think people miss it but this throne is an underrated masterpiece.” – Grimes
1:00 “We had some major technical difficulties and never really got to show off the full choreography.” – Grimes
1:08 “We had never used an XR stage before, and it typically isn’t used in music videos, so we were doing a lot of things no one on the team had done before.” – Grimes
1:16 “We actually lost most of the footage and had to make the music video out of the last few hours we got. But it ended up turning out great!” – Grimes
1:57 “Obviously this was everybody’s favorite part because we’re all obsessed with Jennie. We’d been hanging out with her in L.A.” – Grimes
2:06 “…and she benevolently offered to be in the video. She was impressive AF – not a single shot of her was unusable.” – Grimes
