The Real Story Behind Scissor Sisters' "She's My Man" Video

The Creative Genius of Nagi Noda

Scissor Sisters are proud to present this innovative video, directed by the talented Japanese artist Nagi Noda. The production uses a groundbreaking technique known as "Kuroko," which is a fascinating style of Japanese puppetry. In this style, stagehands are dressed entirely in black, manipulating both props and characters to create the seamless illusion that camera angles and perspectives are shifting. This unique approach makes the "She's My Man" Scissor Sisters collaboration a visual feast.

Technical Magic: A One-Take Wonder

Despite what you think you’re seeing, we assure you that this video was filmed all in one take. There was no editing, no camera movement, and no slow-motion or special effects used to achieve these transitions. However, truth be told, there is actually one special effect hidden in the footage—see if you can spot it!

Why This Video Stands Out

Ana Matronic Channels a Pirate Legend

So enjoy the fruits of our labor in full "Scissorvision," as the talented Ana Matronic channels the spirit of New Orleans riverboat pirate Annie Christmas. She brings a fierce energy to the screen, slicing and dicing her male counterparts in this visually striking production. It's a bold performance that perfectly complements the track's infectious rhythm and the high-concept direction. You can find more about the band's history on their official Wikipedia page.
