Gondry gave some insight into the making of the video to Billboard:

"We shot it frame by frame, and we shot it by recranking the camera and re-exposing the film many times. I decided for this that the shower of meteorite would hit the ground and produce a sound... The idea that a beam of light can have the impact to make these things move is something that intrigued me. Later on, they create some ripples-like rain. At the third verse, they create bubbles in which the metallic objects appear. All of those are the result of multiple conversations with [Björk] that were going in many directions."

For the final touches on the video, Gondry came to The Mill. Co-Head of 2D Westley Sarkoin used Flame to dimensionalize the hand-drawn light effects created by Gondry, while the color was graded by Colorist Sal Malfitano.

Think the pair should reunite for a ninth video? Take a look and decide for yourself!
