"This video was like a crazy dream!!!"
(Dean Karr, 2007)

"We choose him (Dean Karr) because when we heard Universal wanted to do a video we had like six or seven different directors send us their reels which are like 30 second clips of all the videos they've done but with Dean's he also sent all these photos and sketches along with a 10 page synopsis of his idea for the video. It was obvious that the guy was passionate and energetic about the project, which really set him apart from the other directors."

"He (Dean Karr) rocks! It was a great learning experience. The clip's dark, dirty, abandoned and looks great back-to-back with the other videos."
(from the interview with Skinny. foundrymusic.com, August 2005)

"It was Dean Karr's idea (face paint) for our video for Solitaire/Unraveling to show more emotion in my face... and it's so much better onstage... I can see, I can hear, and I can sing without a latex mask in my mouth or covering my eyes. 8 years of that was enough!... And he's an amazing director... he's also responsible for my haircut in the video, which I deemed "The Director's Cut"... I still remember returning to the hotel after the shoot still half covered in makeup. I looked like the "Human Match." Very crazy responses."

"Sun Doesn't Rise was done by an animator from Canada named Vincent Marcone. He's been doing a lot of big stuff lately some band called Our Cast. He does a website and animations for a band called Jackelope it's a project of Trent Reznor and a bunch of other people from the industrial industry, they produce this band. His does a lot of stuff for them, his animation is killer. He has this website called www.mypetskeleton.com, it's insane. We met up with him because Skinny was searching the net one day looking for stuff and found this guys art and was like - Wow this is awesome! and contacted the guy and asked him you know your animation is cool you want to do a video? And he was like - well I've never done a video before. And we're like - alright let's do a video. So he did all that, very Tim Burton kind of stuff. Very cool."

"I received a phone call from Universal Music in New York two years ago, requesting that I direct a music video for Mushroomhead that would debut on MTV. I had never worked in film before, so it was a combination of being overwhelmingly excited and completely terrified."
