Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Adam: Was it you that got Paul Thomas Anderson in to do the Daydreaming video? How did that happen?
Jonny: We keep cheekily asking him for favors, and he was up for it.
Adam: Did he shoot that himself then?
Jonny: Yeah.
Adam: 'Cause he didn't use his regular cinematographer, did he?
Jonny: No. I think he had his normal crew with him but um... yeah.
Adam: And where was that? That was out in LA, was it?
Jonny: And Utah as well... and it was crazy. They genuinely were filming for 10 hours a day, every day for 3 days, just to get enough. It was insane I think, the stories I heard about how they made it happen. Kept getting emails from Thom. They were a bit complainy, I thought "he's making a bit much of this. I bet he's having a great time, and occasionally opening a few doors. how hard can it be?" Thought he was milking it, and then I got an email from Paul explaining what it was really like and I think it was genuinely insane. Crawling around in snow and for days on end... but you know, he's a singer.
Adam: Exactly! What does he expect? That comes with [being] the front man, if you want to get all the limelight.
Jonny: Definitely.
