Ben Howard used a robot puppet to recreate the music video for Vanessa Carlton’s ‘A Thousand Miles’, which debuted in 2002. The original music video was directed by Marc Klasfield and filmed in in Newbury Park, California as well as sections of Downtown Los Angeles, using a piano attached to a custom-built dolly.
This version starts at The Box Shop Mural Project at 10 Hunters Point Blvd in San Francisco before the robot puppet makes its way around several famous landmarks including Golden Gate Park and the Painted Ladies, or the pastel-colored homes, standing next to each other on the gentle slope of Steiner Street. To ensure the lip-syncing was spot on, Howard first had to film himself singing and then motion-mapped it to the robot’s movements.
