Dig Deeper:

"When I first heard they were looking for another video, I got the news while on a trip to Philadelphia. It was such a funny juxtaposition walking around in the dreary, freezing cold while listening to most sunny, cheery, joyful pop songs.

"I kept seeing Blake and John in these very colorful storybook, dollhouse scenarios. Blake has always struck me as someone who belongs in a fairytale, she's very Alice in Wonderland-y. I've always been loved about how they play with size in Alice in Wonderland. How she could become a giant or extremely tiny just by eating or drinking something.

"This idea took me to the work of Adelbert Ames. He was an ophthalmologist who developed all sorts of cool optical illusions, one in particular called an Ames Room, in which two people stand in the same room, but one person looks giant and the other looks tiny.

"I also knew I wanted to include some organic stop motion stuff as well. And if I could get kids in there playing the strings while wearing combination unicorn/pegasus costumes, well that would be awesome too.

"I collected these scenarios in a way that hopefully has the same sense of innocent joy and enthusiasm that John and Blake have in their everyday lives, as well as the way the song makes you feel. It was really important for me to make something that didn't stick with one gimmick, but rather felt like a toy chest where you're continually able to pull out one fantastic thing after another. It's probably inspired by my love of Sesame Street and all the clever, stop motion-y interstitials they would run between puppet bits." - Annelise Dekker (Director)
