Videocast: Director Cat Solen on Bright Eyes "At The Bottom Of Everything"

Video Static is very pleased to present this video podcast of the new Bright Eyes clip "At The Bottom Of Everything" directed by Cat Solen. The video is a mix of handmade animation in which a group of  aggressive clouds decide to wage war on commercial airliners and live action footage of how the passengers aboard one of these planes react to their dire straits. Actors in the video include Terrance Stamp, Evan Rachel Wood and Brady Corbet.

You can watch the video in the window above, or download it if you have Quicktime Pro. If neither is working for whatever reason, you can also watch and/or download the clip through GOOGLE VIDEO.

The recommended way to watch: Add our new Videocast feed to iTunes by entering < www.videostatic.com/vs/videos.xml > into the "Subscribe to Podcast" command under the iTunes "Advanced" menu. And, because we know you're dying for a reason to get one, the video can be transferred and watched on your iPod. Any way you want to watch it, however, you need the newest version of iTunes or Quicktime. Remember, Video Static isn't smart enough to provide technical help.

Special thanks to Saddle Creek and Cat Solen. Enjoy.
