ANDREW MCMAHON RESPONDS TO STEPHENIE’S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT
September 30th, 2008
PEOPLE.COM has posted an article about Stephenie Meyer’s directorial debut with the music video for the song The Resolution by Jack’s Mannequin. In it, Andrew McMahon, the singer/keyboardist for Jack’s Mannequin, responds to the final product.
Here is some of what the article says:
Shot in Malibu, the video for the single “The Resolution,” off the band’s sophomore record The Glass Passenger, which released Tuesday, has a “whimsical, other worldliness look to it,” says Mannequin singer-keyboardist Andrew McMahon. He adds that they called upon Meyer to craft the concept of the video after hearing she was a fan of their tunes.So just what did the creative Meyer come up with? “Me and my piano are hauling out of town trying to get away from the tide, but it just keeps coming to get me,” says McMahon. “She has a great eye for fantasy.”
Robert Pattinson (Edward) also had something to say about Stephenie’s project:
When Twilight star Robert Pattinson heard about Meyer’s new gig he couldn’t help but gush. “She’s got obsessive taste in music so she’ll do really well,” he said.

The video was AWESOME! I loved it. It was something different.
Ohh now I get it! I thought the video was wonderful, the landsape and colors beautiful. But I didnt get it, now thanks to Andrew I do- very cool concept.
I like the song, but I think the video is lame. I am a huge SMeyer fan… but only her celebrity, JM band promotion, and the novelty of her “directing” got her this job. I was expecting the video to be so much more visually and all we got was Andrew plinking on a piano and a mermaid (?) tail that I had to squint to see.
I agree w/Shannon. I like the song, but wasn’t very impressed w/the video. I was expecting more. I like the concept, though.
she clearly has a good eye for elements of fantasy.. gotta love that.
