"Harrowdown Hill" is a song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and is the eighth track on his 2006 album The Eraser. The song was written about biological warfare expert David Kelly who, as a matter of some contention, committed suicide in 2003. However, there is speculation that he was murdered, as demonstrated in the song. Thom Yorke himself confirmed the song's meaning in several interviews.
The music video for "Harrowdown Hill" was directed by Chel White of BENT Image Lab in 2006. It features stop-motion eagle animation from a 2003 film by David Russo titled Pan with Us, time-lapse footage by Mark Eiffert, and a new technique, invented at BENT Image Lab, known as Smallgantics. Smallgantics, a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature scale model, is an imitation of a technique used in tilt-shift photography. By tilting the camera's lens in relation to the camera body, the focus of the photo is manipulated, simulating the shallow depth of field normally encountered with macro lenses, making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is.
