“The credit for this clip, which is so incredibly cool despite the involvement of TDWP, lies with director Maria Juranic. If you check out any of the other videos, commercials, and/or shorts available on her website, you will instantly recognize how tremendously talented she is. I sincerely hope that more mediocre bands hire her to make videos in the future so that a) those videos will be more tolerable and b) she has the money to go make something really awesome that has nothing to do with the mediocre bands that paid her.”
“It’s pretty obvious that the stop motion films of that regions past have had a profound effect on her approach to this video, with some parts reminding me of Věra Chytilová’sSedmikrásky (Daisies) as well as the works of Jan Svankmajer. Check it out below (courtesy of Blabbermouth).”
“Vocalist Mike Hranica says of the clip, which was directed by Maria Juranic, “Even while our direction was a bit vague for what we wanted to do with the ‘First Sight’ video, I couldn’t be more pleased with what Maria was able to come up with”
“Handing over the task of visually complementing the track to director Maria Juranic, who has used a seamless combination of stop-motion animation and polished camera work to figuratively convey a man rebelling against modern life. It’s a beautiful piece of film-making which will reach far beyond The Devil Wears Prada’s fan base in its appeal.”
