Crawling
Originally for this video, Phoenix was supposed to play the role of the girl who is being abused in the video (as apparent by the LP DVD in the Making of Crawling section). He felt that he did not need to play his bass for the video because Mike and Brad were already playing, so why add more musicians to the scene?...especially when you have the best actor in the world right on set already! The group felt that the public would laugh at them for having a 25 year old man, crawling around in their video being abused by another man (or well, in his case, another woman). It wasn't until that Friday when they were filming Phoenix's "crawling on the floor scenes" that he sprained his wrist, and got knocked unconscious by a virtual crystal. On the following Sunday, they called in Katelyn, who would play the role of the girl.
Papercut
The filming of Papercut was a pure disaster--all due to the little fellow who makes his debute appearance running across the LP set. Not only did 'it' break Rob's drumset because of jelousy (yes, that is why Rob had to sit on his butt looking around instead of playing like the rest of the guys), but 'it' also released real dragonflies/fireflies (whatever they were) on the set after finding out that Chester was afraid of them. In addition, 'it' would constantly run through the videoshoot, wasting valuable tape and footage. The guys didn't want to have to retake any of the shots, so editors decided to cut out the places where 'it' interfered, and create a blobby thingymabobber which supposedly released the dragonflies/fireflies. They had finished the editing of the video, and had taken out all the parts with 'it' in the shots. Unfortunately, 'it' got ahold of the edited version of the video on the computer, and added 'its' appearance (where we see him running quickly across the set). No one had known what 'it' had done until they saw the premire of the video on television.
In the End
Gladly enough, nothing too tragic went on this videoset, as apparent by the "Making of In the End" section on the DVD. However, one flaw which was cut from the video and from the making of the video, was when Mike jokingly pushed Chester off the edge of the platform thingy, causing him to crash into the cameras and such. Because no one wanted to promote to the youngsters that it is funny and alright to push someone off of a ledge, this was kept a secret on the set...well, that is, until now.
Points of Authority
This video could not have been corrupted in anyway thankfully.
One Step Closer
Little information is known about the making of this video, seeing how it was created in an abondoned subway. Once information surfaces on the making of this video, it shall be posted.
