Exclusive Release of Making Of 'Elastic Heart' Video: Why Sia Chose Shia LaBeouf

A video recently released on YouTube by DanceOn's Channel goes behind-the-scenes with Sia, Maddie Ziegler and Shia LaBeouf to discover the artist elements behind the controversial music video for "Elastic Heart."

First of all, Sia appears in this video with a bushel of bananas over her face. No one knows why, specifically, bananas.

Second of all, in this exclusive video, Sia goes explains that "Elastic Heart" is the second part of an epic trilogy. Both Sia and Shia LaBeouf created the concept for the "Elastic Heart."

Shia LaBeouf worked with the video's choreographer Ryan Heffington on a previous video, and got him in touch with Sia.

LaBeouf was clued in on Sia's trilogy project, and it was decided he had a lot to offer based in his skill and background.

"I think what's awesome about choosing people who have a gift is that I can trust them to move within the scope of their feeling framework," Sia said.

"Sia probably picked me because she identifies with some aspect of my personality," LaBeouf said. "All of my work, especially for the last five years, has just been my soul, bared on film."

Sia discovered dancer Maddie Ziegler when she was watching an episode of Dance Moms, and was blown away by the young girl's talent.

"I cried when I watched [her dance]," Sia said. "And I thought If I could cry watching a kid do that kind of choreography that's highly commercial, then she must have something special."
