A note from Andy:
“The “Eat an Eraser” video is a result of a creative collaboration between brothers Peter, and Andy Yanowitz. An exploration into the use of new 3D digital performance capture technology. It started with a set of digital performance captures of band members Michael, Peter and Matt, created by Rob Ruffler and The Lightframe Co. Using Blender 3D, an open-source 3D graphics software toolset, Andy was able to place Michael and the band into an unlimited number of virtual performance spaces, and “shoot” video with virtual camera movements that would be nearly impossible using traditional video production techniques. Andy spent months experimenting with many different concepts and looks, and eventually worked with his brother Peter to craft a video that best fit the mood of the song, and the band’s creative vision. The head on fire concept was originally Michael’s idea, and the concept of the ball head with spewing particles felt very fitting in this time of social distancing, and personal space. And as for the butterflies, well, of course the video had to have butterflies, and Michael’s compelling performance seemed to fit nicely with that.”
