What’s far more likely is they rented the equipment for the day, which, while still costly, is far less expensive than buying it outright

I feel like the songs use to be almost centered around the video, they were worked on simultaneously or, at least, with the video in mind. If I’m wrong then they just did it better back then, period.

      Funny thing is that they divorced in 2000, years before this song was made. Strangely despite the divorce they didn’t have any conflict with eachother and continue making music together for years, and when they retired it was just because they felt that they didn’t need to make any more music. Also, early on they repeatedly insisted they were siblings and kept their marriage a secret. They apparently did this because they didn’t want people poking into their personal life and their (former) relationship. The whole situation was extremely abnormal.

    This Video idea required that Gondry track down 32 identical Ludwig drum
    kits, as well as 32 amplifiers and 16 microphone stands. The crew would
    erect all the kits at once and Meg White would scoot from set to set as
    Jack walked in front of a new set of amplifiers for each shot. Each time
    the pair moved forward, the last set of instruments in line would be
    peeled off and brought to the front. The amps were rented, but the drum
    kits had to be purchased. (The band donated them to a music school after
    the shoot, fearing they’d end up on eBay if they got back into
    circulation.)
    The laborious process made for three 16-hour days of shooting, all of
    which had to be completed during daylight hours, per Gondry’s
    specifications. “We didn’t hire any lights, so we had to do it all with
    natural light. I had it very carefully planned out, though I realized
    Jack was doing different expressions for each take and I didn’t correct
    him. I initially told him to watch it, but I realized the result would
    be very electric because each frame would jump around with different
    expressions.”
    In the finished video, White’s facial contortions heighten the feel
    of a stop-motion nature documentary, even though the film was shot
    continuously. Gondry said the stop-motion effect was created in the
    editing room after the fact.

      the better question is, how satisfying was it to put all these little snippets together and hit play every now and then.

    I’m 59 and this is not at all the type of music I usually go for. But the Stripes are so wonderful I love them.

    Fun fact #1: All the drum kits were donated to a music school after the video was filmed. So every day, drummers now practice on one of the kits Meg used, though the peppermint swirl skins have likely been replaced.
    Fun fact #2: The "sock puppet" on Jack's left arm is actually a cast; he broke his finger in a car accident shortly before the video shoot.
    Fun fact #3: The guy holding the "box with something in it" at 2:30... that's Beck!
