We developed the wand in our test stages, and that’s how the light traveled around them.” Salvatore Totino described one of his favorite effects, an orb of light revolving around the band’s faces, “I used this little wand with a 12V/75W bulb on the end plugged into the camera battery. Many of the lighting effects were done in camera, although some effects were also added in postproduction at The Mill in London. The video was filmed in New York City at Paris Studios over two days. A few of the effects used in the video came from his father, Scott revealed that one of the final effects had also been used in Alien. He is a British director, son of Blade Runner / Aliens director Ridley Scott, and nephew of Top Gun director Tony Scott. The video ends with zooming out from a sun-like light, and then quickly zooming back in. Towards the end of the video, the band are lit up. Although the video does start out with all of the band sitting around, eventually it shifts so we see the Edge with guitar, Adam with bass, and Larry performing, standing behind a drum. The band is seen mostly in shadow lit by intense light at times, from the sides, strobe like lights, in their hands. The video itself was shot in a dark room with a lot of different light effects.
