For the Blood, Sweat and Tears video I wanted to try and emulate some of the shadowplay of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and other related films from the 1920s, but without any actual cinematic knowledge or lighting, that was clearly never going to happen.
The semaphore ("blood", "sweat" and "tears", depending on the chorus) obviously comes from the single artwork, and the handwritten lyrics just seemed to make a nice addition, even if I messed them up a bit in the middle. You can also probably see that apparently I hold pencils in a very strange way.
The video also stars my friend's cat Blue, who can be seen performing his typical act of running manically out of the room without warning. He died a few months after the single came out, which is rather sad, because crazy though he was sometimes, he was a very friendly cat.
