.
for "Cherry Lips" was directed
by Joseph Kahn
on a set
installed in a loft
located in Brooklyn
, New York
on October 22, 2001. The video was produced by Supermega/Palomar; collaborating on the music video were top hair artist Renato Campura, make-up artist Mathu Andersen and stylist Kithe Brewster. Visual effects
were handled by Chris Watts
.
The video treatment
Kahn filmed featured Garbage performing in a loft space, but only seen on mirror
reflections
, on monitor displays
or reflected in the camera lens. As the chorus
begins, it becomes apparent that the band are invisible. The special effect
was rendered by filming Garbage wrapped in green gauze suits under their clothing and digitally replacing their bodies with the background. The insides of their clothing were replaced using CGI
. Monitors visible to the viewer were fed playback footage of the band performing 'as normal'. For the breakdown and coda
, Manson removed her clothing (except her boots and gloves) and performed an invisible striptease
, and then walked across the room towards a bathroom
mirror displaying her composited
reflection. The twist ending showed the invisible Manson urinating while standing up.
Manson dyed her red hair
to platinum blonde
the night prior to the shoot. Kahn expressed concern over the change, as he felt Manson was strongly identified as a redhead
. To compliment her new colour, she was given a 50's-era beige palette "for a glamourous but not overdone" look. Vig filmed all his close-up
scenes at the start of the day; he had been suffering from a food poisoning infection. A stand-in
was used for his greenscreen shots. The set was dressed to resemble a strip club
, vintage neon sign
s were procured from over the city to provide an authentic backdrop.
The "Cherry Lips" video premiered on Australia's Rage
on December 3, on MTV Europe
in the United Kingdom and on VIVA in Germany on December 17. MTV Europe required an edit
to the scenes where Manson stamped on lightbulbs; an alternate edit was re-serviced with the scenes obscured in early 2002. VH1
continued to broadcast the original version. The "Cherry Lips" video was nominated for a Bulgaria
n MM Music Award in the category of Best Video by an International Act.
The "Cherry Lips" video was first made commercially available in QuickTime
format on the CD-ROM
enhanced section
of the "Cherry Lips" CD singles. A remastered version of the "Cherry Lips" music video was included on Garbage's 2007 greatest hits
DVD
Absolute Garbage, and made available as a digital download
via online music services
later the same year.
In 2005, Garbage remixed "Cherry Lips" themselves (subtitling the remix "Le Royale mix") for the B-side of the "Why Do You Love Me
" DVD single. In 2007, the Roger Sanchez remix was remastered, edited and included on the Absolute Garbage bonus disc Garbage Mixes.
