the concept of faint was posted on teh message board at lp.com. i thought it was important to post here..... mike on the concept of the faint video:"we haven't gotten a chance to do very many interviews about the concept behind the faint video yet, so i figured i'd let you guys know a little bit of the background on what's really going on... joe was too busy to do the video, so we accepted ideas from other directors. mark romanek's caught our eye. the song is about feeling ignored...we decided on mark's idea because of how it visually interprets this theme. for most of the song, the band is ignored by an unusual antagonist--the camera. it shoots our backs and never focuses in on our faces until chester snaps in the bridge. we thought the concept was very strong because of the unconventional way in which mark attacked the subject. and he really came through with creating an energetic, dark atmosphere--without making a dark video that doesn't look like every other dark video. glad you guys like it. and hope this little insight helps to make the video even cooler."
Now that I read it....it all comes together....now the videos even better for me cause I understand it!
