In his treatment, director Brett Simon explains how he plans to utilize visual elements from a photocopy machine for Thrice's "Stare at the Sun" video:
"This video will use the photocopier to illustrate a search for meaning and knowledge. Light remains the driving force of the treatment. It serves both to underscore the quest, moving from darkness to light and back, and the risk of looking too hard: blindness. We will see maps, religious icons, and scientific texts that play a part in our attempt to make meaning of the world. These sources will be collaged in a journal that document both a physical and metaphysical quest…Imagine journal entries, science, art books, cut and collaged to form lyrics...In between all of this, imagine a dark stage where the performance is captured in slices of moving light and where pages of the video come falling out of the sky, with HUGE bursts of flared-out light at points transitioning us in and out of the Xerox set-up and the performance."
