Hey Chris, I would really appreciate if you could answer some questions of mine.
1) Did you mean to say that the extras in the background were not there at all in all of the filming of Fiona Apple's scenes? So all the time she shot this video was just her on the empty set? If Fiona was always the only one in-camera in the filming of all of her scenes, then I guess she sang the song at the normal pace and there was no need to alter the speed of her scenes?
2) How was the rotating shot done? What I think is that she was shot in front of a green screen while someone lifted her hair throughout that shot. Was a rotating camera used to capture that backdrop behind her in that shot?
3) What was the reason behind leaving her headphones on in the finished video rather than painting it out? Part of it is probably to emphasise that she is disjointed from the chaos around her but was part of it also to avoid specific challenges that might occur if the headphones were to be painted out?
4) Why is Fiona inaudible at the end of the video? I know this isn't VFX related so you might not know the real intention but I just thought it is to highlight the mysterious element of the song and video.
If you do see this comment, I really, really, thank you!
