Everything Everything - Photoshop Handsome...the making of

Behind the scenes footage of Everything Everything's new video for Photoshop Handsome.

"Our new single Photoshop Handsome looks at the world of digital image manipulation and computer game re-incarnation. What would it feel like to come back to life as one of the 'perfected', false, immortal beings that adorn magazine covers, adverts and games?

We took the idea of photoshopping and digital re-imagining of the self to its most extreme conclusion with our new video. We laid out loose guidelines for a huge number of creative digital artists and let them run free with their imaginations, each editing literally only a few seconds of video in total. The result is a very colourful and diverse explosion of ideas, the image of ourselves re-imagined hundreds of times in 3 minutes. We hope to open the imagination and raise some thoughts about what it means to change our perceptions of ourselves to the extent we do." Jonathan Everything

Lyrics:
I will gain an extra life, when I get the high score.
You could respawn anywhere...
I am one with the furniture, more inanimate than amateur
Like a television set! / Gangrene knuckle announced so audibly!
I will boost my attention span; soon my clock will have a minute hand
You've become a smithereen!
(I'm watching that!) Foxhound frolic on the abattoir floor, up in heaven it's symmetrical oh

Airbrush!
What have you done with my father?
Why does he look like a carving?
How do I live in the present?
I make my own density?

And Ah-Ah-Ah!
Who did your Photoshop handsome?
You ready for reincarnation?
Gotta come back as something organic,
Or come back as something else!

Just come back as something else!

More dollar! Less scholar! Less time!

My teeth dazzle like an igloo wall, I inhabit, I inhibit y'all!
Can you operate alone?
Chest pumped elegantly elephantine, southern hemisphere by Calvin Klein
Watch your dorsal fin collapse! / I know nothing about my history!
I put a rainforest in an Oxo cube! Struck by lightning if I take the tube!
Thank your chromosomes for that
I have skin like a waxen peel, and a face that I can never feel but

Airbrush!
What have you done with my landscape?
Flooding the fields with this clone shape?
Where is the country you died for?
And what is the century?

And Ah-Ah-Ah!
Who did your Photoshop handsome?
You ready for reincarnation?
Gotta come back as something less frantic
You gotta banish that army of panic
Gotta come back as something organic,

Come back as something organic, or come back as something else!

I will gain an extra life,
I will gain an extra...
