Description: Director Adria Petty plays out an ode to film noir with a cast of what look to be larger, more detailed versions of Guatemalan worry dolls. The basic plot incorporates elements of Rear Window, with its scenes of apartment window surveillance, and even Blue Velvet and its mysterious, severed ear. Stellastarr's performance is the only live action element in this stop motion escapade, although that footage is treated with a chopped effect to match the pace of the doll storyline. You can watch the video courtesy of RCA Records in either Quicktime, Real or Windows.
