If you can’t get enough of Mastodon‘s psychedelic cat/puppet video for “Asleep In The Deep“, then today is your lucky day. Artist Skinner, who was instrumental making in the clip, has compiled an extensive behind the scenes look, complete with various concept shots and more. As for how the video itself came to be:
“People have been asking me how I got the chance to art direct a video for Mastodon. Well here’s how it happened: One morning I asked Brann, “What do you think your cat does at night when it goes out the cat door? (Brann has an incredible one-eyed giant cat named Don). Do you think he goes on some insane cat adventure?” This is how my brain works when I’m getting that coffee buzz going in the morning. Plus, I’ve long been suspicious of secret cat adventures for years. Since I was little I’ve thought,” What the fuck are they doing out there all night?” Anyways, Brann said,” That’s a cool idea. Why don’t you write a treatment for a video?” AND THUS IT SHALL BE!”
