[edit] Music video
The music video is particularly noteworthy. The film was produced entirely with computer-generated imagery,[citation needed] yet it is of such photorealistic quality that one is unaware of the fact until it is made obvious by large rings of colour-changing grass. From this point on, the video descends slowly from photorealistic imagery into an obviously digital landscape, eventually finishing in an array of cubes, representing the journey in its entirety from nature to computer.
The astounding photoreality of the video has led to its many requests on channels such as MTV, which may have even helped popularise the song.
