Nine Inch Nails: Behind the scenes of the Only video

[h0b0ch1c]

FAKE

[RX1603]

there is no spoon!

[0Zero0San0]

aaaarrgghh that angry face! :D

[JohnnyLovely2]

this was the best music video of 2005

[Makonu2]

See, I've got not problems with the concept of a music video at all. In fact, I think they're a great idea. It's an excellent way to convey the emotions and the thought process that went into writing a piece of music. I just think people have been horribly abusing music videos. Take almost any rap, hip-hop, pop, or mainstream rock song and the music videos are just garbage. We need more creativity and heart put into them. Tool and NIN are good examples of what I'm talking about.

[dhritimanbatchu]

David Fincher = Genius

[skateNappreciate]

thats so fuckin weird

[modernlover0rosalyn]

Always fascinated by what I can find on youtube. I always wondered how they made this video and viola! that simple...not, cool vid :)

[Dltn97]

I have one of those pinart nailboard thingies.

[xRockinBabyDoll94x]

I loooove it!

[princesssookeh]

1:17 yum

[AggieMaryann]

1:48 - *melts* =)

[Angela514639]

I had no idea that the entire thing was generated. Whoo! Go Trent!

[KennHeston]

David Fincher made this video? Awesome!!!

[theXfaction]

Damn! I wondered how they did the pinboard... I never realized it was CG!! thats some good ass CG!!!

[dgareea31swtg]

This vid is mind-blowing in its simplicity...a trip to watch.

[servo1056]

@dgareea31swtg hahahahahaha...this was released as a promo or something?????

[Atak0fth3Umpalumpas]

Now if only he put the same effort into the hand that feeds video that he put into this video.

[dxanex]

I'm a huge David Fincher and NIN fan, but what a shit video...and for one of the best songs on With Teeth too...I was really disappointed.

[carlsaraiva]

So everything was CG. oO

Impressive!

David Fincher also directed "Panic Room", this video remember me some effects from the movie.

[Yellowhorn666]

the music made the pins move thats how!

[Redzombie13]

AWESOME!!!

[Tehstroyer]

Well, I don't completly understand: how's the pin made? is it some kind of script that translates the video to pin movement? Shaders?

[ckop6a]

Soo digital : )

[pandorakun]

Thats so clever!

I always loved this video, and wondered how they did it.

Very clever! :)

[stakleni00]

Wow... That's amazing

[Pardelto]

holy balls thats probably one of the coolest things ive seen in a long while. im thinking of learning how to do some of that stuff myself =D

[pointlesspeoplehere]

HOLY BALLS.

Someone else says 'holy balls' :D.

HIGH FIVE!

[TheLivingDeadOne]

learn about bump maps,. 256 shades of grey can give you height and depth when maped onto a 3d image,. damn, I have to get back into that 3D shit

[Killerclownmeat]

holy crap that CG is impressive, I thought the only cg was the nailboard

[Blade3327]

David Fincher? He's the dude who worked on the Alien movies, right? I think he was the visual effects supervisor, or something... Suits 'im.

[MissHxcfairy]

David Fincher directer Aliens 3, Fight Club, Se7en, Zodiac & Benjamin Button.

[Blade3327]

Right, right. I didn't know he directed Benjamin Button, though.

[lariren]

me encanto! fue como preciso el video, dejarnos en claro fue que se hizo, no crei que usaran tanta tecnologia!

muy buen video ; )

[gradam]

thanks for sharing

[digyourowngrave666]

I would have never thought that the whole thing was animated! lol

[adias06]

i never expected it to be CG, maybe the pins in the glass case but not everything wow

[sicandbored]

it kinda fits the song though... since he "made" everything up

so the whole video is made up (CG), even though its a convincing reality

[adias06]

i get what you mean didnt think of it that way

[Thiago1950]

awesome image work

I thought it was real, not a digital drawing

beside this it's a very clever concept for this song

[nitesianka]

me too O_o awesome

[michiimouse]

whoa that looks very real! i didn't know the whole room was all done by computer. and the apple or the coffee!

this is awesome, seriously. damn.

[e45ay]

the laptop... looks like Mac, its a mac or not?

[kevasaurus]

its a g4 powerbook.

[nandi8]

Why is it so important?:D

[herrMaria]

why do they censor the 'fucking'? -.-

[almost1st]

i think it's stupid, too.

everybody knows it's there... you even posted it right here.

[nandi8]

good question

[misscraptacular]

oh wow! i would never have thought the coffee was CG, it all looks so real

[ToOlOGT22]

the coffee was CG? no wonder it was all computery

[akutenshi69]

damn DIGITAL DOMAIN RULESSS!!

[missbrainshaker]

one of the best music videos ever made...awsome work...

[poolboyinla]

good song but boring video

[boobsteak]

amazing

[avelione]

I thought that only the pins were animated! Even coffee was animated! Wow!

[gutworm45]

Thought exactly the same mate. Amazing piece of original work.

[karinalebedev]

omg i thought they were just filming this at a real room with a little bit of help of a computer! it all looks so real!

[PaintMaryconley]

[xXEmotionalxKillerXx]

Cool...

[angeloftheblood]

[anthonykiedisbegod]

Oh man I was thinking the same thing! Haha.

[PatricRox]

[obscureface]

trent has so much money!

[badluckshadow13]

[MissyContraband]

Nothing in this video is real , not even me!

[pommepot]

[MissyContraband]

I love the lyrics myself!

"Theres a doorway trying to seal itself shut, but I climb through"

[munchkinwithaspork]

There is no desk, there is only me!

[spades4811]

[masterbobgood]

Interesting, but why this style

[JustusDestruction]

Nothing in the goddamned video is real!

AHHHH!

But, it's amazing. :).

[NightVisitor101]

Absolutely incredible. I still can't believe my eyes :-D

[derekchewie11]

the song isnt great but this is one of the most interesting videos ive ever seen.

[pommepot]

omg how can you not like this song!!! it's better live!!! i'm presuming you've seen him do it live? even on dvd? it sounds rubbish on this vid. one of the cleverest songs he's done, it's true there is no YOU there is only ME, as in the big me US :) collective!

[MissyContraband]

Thats true, ONLY is much better live, as shown on the BYIT dvd

[ratexla]

My first NIN song...

[Ryno4269]

Me too!!! was a while ago now though.

[clarad001]

one of the best videos I believe

[schemes16]

very cool

[rainelinden]

I love this video, and I think Trent looks really good in pinArt!!! Definitely one of my favourite NIN songs/videos

[92zoe123]

kako je ludo covjece! :D great!

[Spifficus]

Fuckin' dope shit!

[PearlJammer07]

I remember watching this vid when it first came out. I always thought the desktop was real. Pretty good CGI.

[briani4735263]

God, me too... Incredible, isn't it? And the song's unreal too :)

[ZetalZ]

All I can wonder is how long that took to render.

[ros3h]

Wow. Really interesting!

[nadaquefazer]

i like his change of hair style. still keeps to his character.

[nadaquefazer]

Trent Reznor angst x video = visual drug

[aschen]

wow.... trent looks kinda chubby in that green scrren part... no wonder he went uberbuff...

[bananabaconcake]

Wow, the desktop looks so real in the actual video. I love that video.

[AMXNIN]

awesome vid

[galerandyaddict]

oooh emo hair back when it wasnt emo but hot.

[TrentIsMine]

Tough shit for deleting the "fucking" part.

Ok I know this is not about the song but the making of the vid.

Fucking interesting, though. Amazing how penetrating is Trent in silver.

[DZrache]

Fascinating.

Now, I just have to understand what the hell all that jargon means XD

[KingGulerod]

I've heard that they had really big problem witht he apple that was supposed to move (in the end of the video). Do you know how they did that? And why it was such a big problem?

[Seedr0]

I would assume the physics of an apple falling is hard to mimic... Just a guess though.

[Kuehlschrank2]

oh... i didn't know that everything in this video is made with the computer...but i like it
