Director Laurent Briet has been known for directing videos for other artist's such as Radiohead's Like Spinning Plates and Red Hot Chili Peppers's Fortune Faded. Sleeps With Butterflies features visuals inspired by the stunning Japanese illustrations of Aya Kato, whose work was commissioned specifically for Tori's video.

"This coming weekend (Jan 29) Tori will be busy shooting the video for Sleeps with Butterflies. She's tapped Laurent Briet to direct her latest video endeavor. He's worked with the likes of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Aphex Twins. Rumor is she's chosen to work with Laurent because his concepts are hugely influenced by illustrators and painters, similar to Tori's."
