UK designer/director Chris Hopewell (Radiohead’s “Burn the Witch”) brings his talents for carefully lit and obsessively detailed stop motion to this video for former Fleet Fox, Father John Misty.

Set apart by clever background lyric placement, “Things it Would Have Been Helpful to know Before the Revolution” was created at Hopewell’s Jacknife Studios in Bristol.
