it's the Webster's dictionary synonyms I
don't think doom has any need for this
book foot school that is here for you
aspiring rappers you might want to start
here
flash spark or scintillating only you
will know the difference when you read
this book
the only have had with doom go back to I
don't know sometime in the 90s we were
both like writing graffiti in the
streets at the time as thirty year old
men you know with better things to do
but here we are all these years later to
the law to a father my father y'all
anytime seeing Steve work you always had
to look up and like really look up like
in his Espoo that was like big black
letters all caps bow so it's real
unmistakable usually I use 3d artists to
express the visual aspect of what I do I
guess
Lex Records contacted me a couple years
ago about doing a album cover design it
was a package deal and one of the pieces
of the package was to design a new mask
or doom I had an idea that took me way
past the expiration date like the record
came out the videos were shot the mask
wasn't ready
therefore I forfeited the final 25% of
the money that was coming my way but we
kept working on the masks the label
called back up and they approached the
idea of maybe doing a video talking to
me about it and of course I wanted to
get paid for the mask so I hammered home
the idea of like using the mask now that
you're using the mass you got to pay me
for the man
all you little basically the mask is a
security mirror I'm interested in Doom
being this like watcher kind of a
character behind the mirror in like the
bodegas they got the mirror that's
constantly looking at you so it's almost
like the nura shot on a on a Crone mask
is similar like is constantly looking
like like who's looking at who really
like yelling my feeling about the
production of the video is we can't
really storyboard it we can't really
architect it too much can't really write
it too much we have to see like what
happens when the mask goes on it'll be
more of just like kind of just
experimenting with what the mask looks
like and what happens to do when he puts
on the mask you know like anything else
like if he becomes this other character
while wearing the mask we're gonna let
that happen
I can't script that well this on a
rooftop somewhere and Philly oh I'm
broken along whether it's behind the
camera and a microphone you know we're
definitely gonna do what that's my
people who I trust his I mean the luster
saw the story Brody in the mr. Foley for
those embarassed to know holier that
that will only have
Paris to the goal we bring them up speed
slowly it's just a joy it's just you
know you put the Mirrormask on when you
see on him he starts reflecting the
world the world doubles right in front
of us and it just turns into this whole
other totally simple totally weird thing
what we do here is we make the everyday
strange and we make this strange every
day can't system effect at the time it
take to do what the whole idea with the
Mirrormask
they play it off well with the whole
Liverpool analogy that he made with you
it made sense if you wear the mask they
can't catch anything Emily leave it on
anyway a station wagon in civil work
gotta get out to the Amazon the title
the song's called book then so we're
here at a very densely packed bookstore
and we're now going to show doomed
processing all the information is
presented in front of him you parama
thousands of books when I first started
writing it I'm almost like endorsing
books like your real books for your
shape and all that but then towards the
middle it gets towards where a book
could be something that could be a rice
you get in too deep with the books and
just be a book book head into books you
know you know you're a scholar you just
digging digging digging you know if you
start Twitter to even like a habit a bad
habit you know me
our director of photography is a really
awesome point-of-view camera that he was
itching to put into into motion and this
is a perfect natural location for we're
just trying to keep the lighting really
natural and just really simple so we can
move from one place the other really
quick but then the hard thing is
shooting into a mirror I'm gonna hide
and run out way I'd be surprised if I'm
not in this video and the beste career
I'm in this video at some point and
that's a wrap the muster saw the story
broader than this doing was a pleasure
to work with scholar and a gentleman
he's well-read we've discussed books my
venture he's awesome the moment I knew
we had something special
was when doom put on the mask and just
started reflecting everything that was
around them it was the first time
hearing a song and it's the first time
I'm seeing the video you get it like the
visual or pull in the missing pieces to
the song doesn't provide but um but yeah
came out though
you
