Music video
The music video for “Lemon“, directed by Mark Neale, was filmed in black and white with a grid-like background as a tribute to Eadweard Muybridge. Muybridge was a photographer who was the first person to successfully capture fast motion on film, using his device, coincidentally named the Zoopraxiscope, a reference to the lyrics.
The video primarily features a sequence of clips of the band members playing their instruments and performing a series of distinct actions, with captions for each one. In the background of the video, a pendulum can be seen swinging, a clock can be seen ticking, as well as dollars falling from the sky, various scientific objects, and a cross.
