Mike's latest post on LPU, BTH Q and A:
Q: How long did the Breaking The Habit music video take and how hard was it to make?
A: the process of making this video was totally different from any of our other video experiences before. originally, the conceprt was written for live-action (non-animated), but when joe realized it would be too expensive, he began exploring other options. coincidently, he ran into a guy from GDH, the animation company, at the bookstore. soon, we were making plans to do the video in an anime style.
they shot rough band footage on basic DV cameras, and the animation team took that back to japan for reference. joe kept in constant contact with them for the entire length of the process. finally, just over a month ago, joe went to japan to help them finish up the last few parts; after editing, we had a finished product.
i have to say this is joe's best work. we are all really proud of him and the video. we hope you enjoy it as well.
