This is it. The big one. I knew when I made Chromium Dockyard that, if I wanted to do
it right, eventually I would have to make a video for The Bean Factory. But at nine
minutes, with a whopping great psychedelic sci-fi tale baked into the second half, it
was always going to be a challenge. Fortunately, Thom Tuck asked me to perform the
song at the ACMS and that was the spur I needed to persuade myself to do it. I made
the video over ten weeks, filming Gary at home in April 2026 with my wife Katy and
making the rest with AI, then incorporated it into Gary’s first live performance after a
ten year gap at the Phoenix on May 11th. The stress nearly killed me and I doubt I’ll
ever put this much effort into a video again. But it was worth it, right?
