There's something a little more disconcerting and creepy when the audience can play more of a part in figuring things out. You don't really know why the other girl is laughing on the phone rather than calling 911. If you look closely, there's a knife next to Trent and Mariqueen's holding a spike of a champagne glass. RS: It's hard because you want to be elusive about what's going on but not so confusing that there was no train of thought. Pitchfork: When I first watched it, I thought the other people were somehow in on the killings.
He was very specific in how the room caught fire and that they had killed each other, and how the people around them didn't really care. RS: Yeah, for him it was very much about the neglect that has led a relationship to this- the demise of love and passion. Pitchfork: Did you talk with him about the meaning of the song and why he wanted those visuals specifically? And the response to the video has been great. Lots of times things can go wrong because of lack of communication, but I didn't have to persuade him to make his wife dead- that was something he wanted. He's got very specific ideas about how he wants to be seen and what he's looking for, which is helpful for a music video director because it's a very blank page otherwise. he's just an intelligent, thoughtful, honorable kind of guy. Rupert Sanders: It's like when you collaborate with a great cinematographer or a great designer- we're all there to do something that we love doing and that we're good at. Pitchfork: What was it like working with Trent on this video?

How to Destroy Angels: "The Space in Between" We spoke with Sanders about his star couple, the video's shady narrative, and how to burn people alive: But Reznor and Maandig are not your typical husband and wife. Not exactly your typical husband-and-wife love fest. It finds Reznor and Maandig dripping blood and, eventually, going up in flames. "The Space in Between" is his first major music video (he did a low-budget clip for Ross earlier this year). (Watch those and more at Sanders' website.) It just so happens that Ross is Sanders' brother-in-law, but this isn't a case of mere nepotism- the director has made many ingenious commercials, like the life-as-video-game one for XBox and the dude-with-huge-legs one for. This time, we checked in with Rupert Sanders, who helmed the grisly debut video from How to Destroy Angels, aka Trent Reznor, his wife Mariqueen Maandig, and Nine Inch Nails collaborator Atticus Ross. A little behind-the-scenes dirt couldn't hurt, too. The men and women behind the camera are often overlooked in today's YouTube era, but this feature aims to highlight their hard work while showcasing the best videos currently linking around the internet. Director's Cut is a Pitchfork News feature in which we chat with music video directors about their creations. From UNKLE's "Rabbit in Your Headlights" to Wax's "California", great music videos are bursts of sound and vision that leave an indelible impression.
