With Lil Dicky’s “Pillow Talking” music video simply awesome af and decked-out with amazing tech, we pulled together five amazing things you (probably) didn’t know about this must-see visual. Peep ’em below!
1. Patience
The video took over 9 months to make
2. Talking W/ Wolves
The talking wolves effect is modeled off the direwolves from HBO’s Game of Thrones
3. Brain Game
The animated brain had 25 ideations and was created by mapping choreographer Ian Eastwood for the movements. The unique challenge the Giant Propeller team had to overcome was entire worlds colliding together – an alien invasion sequence, a bloody factory farm, dinosaurs, wolves, John C. Reilly as God floating in the sky, etc.
4. Alien Invasion
The alien scene was added during post after a conversation about the lyrics
5. Strictly Dickly
Lil Dicky was incredibly involved and would point out a single CGI brick in the wall of the set if it wasn’t exactly as planned. He says his biggest challenge was shooting on a big screen and leaving so much visual effects they had planned up to the imagination.
