Director Anton Corbijn on his 1994 film about Don Van Vliet, Some YoYo Stuff: I recorded Dons words separately and then filmed him sitting in front of a film projection i had made in and around the desert and edited it all together in a way that i hoped was in keeping with his world. He supplied me with two never-used bits of music, one of which is an instrumental that i made into a one-minute music video without Don, using a mackerel instead. This was the first bit of the film i showed him, and he was rolling around with laughter, and it was after that i dared let him see the rest. Apart from showing the world at large what a unique man and artist Don is, i really wanted to make it great for him, as he is also a warm and funny guy and i do think the film brings that across. youtube/watch?v=iwytKykXbpM
