How Is Billie Eilish Happier Than Ever Different From Other Concert Films?

For one, instead of a more traditional "greatest hits" approach to a setlist, Happier Than Ever presents Eilish's album of the same name (originally released July 30, 2021) in its entirety, in sequential order "for the first and only time," according to Disney. The film also, as suggested by its subtitle, dives into Eilish's love of her hometown Los Angeles, as evidenced by being shot at the Hollywood Bowl and featuring Los Angeles musical talent.

Additionally, the film incorporates animated elements to visually depict Eilish's personal journey through Los Angeles and her life. Co-director Rodriguez spoke with us about how this process came to be:

"[Eilish] wants to do something with an animated character going to Hollywood and have a concert kind of interwoven with the concert... We were going to have to shoot at the Bowl with no audience, which means we were able to move the camera for every song, all the cameras. Where usually when you shoot a concert film, the cameras have to kind of stay in their spot because you can't be moving a crane from one side of the arena to the next during the songs. So we were able to shoot drones over places you never could get it. We were able to put a reflecting pool back in that was in originally when it was built that has never been there since. They use that for seats. It reflects the Bowl back into itself. So it becomes a circle. Just really graphically awesome. And then motion capturing Billie and working with her to make this animated character go through LA."
