Tokyo Police Club -- at 1/87 scale!!
Director - Sean Wainsteim
Most of the 3/4" figures in the video are made by Preiser for model train set dioramas, then often custom painted and/or modified to suit the scene. The Band members themselves are based on nudist figures. Their clothing, shoes, and instruments were specially made for them.
The buildings and background sets were all specially made for this video, including all the fire, smoke, streets, sidewalks, signage etc.
Once everything was assembled, the figures and props were put together in as many funny and shocking and bloody ways possible to create the chaotic TPC world.
All the anatomically correct and medically precise scenes and characters were detailed and hand crafted by Adam Weir and Andrew Heffron (rumored to also be anatomically correct and medical precise).
Using advanced technology, cinematographer Simon Shohet shrunk down to miniature size to film the video using miniature cranes and tiny working helicopters.
Director Sean Wainsteim has completed full size videos (but no less strange) for The Dears, Pilate, Wintersleep, illScarlett and many many more rock and roll musical artistes.
