chart seven days later. During the week of May 22, "Special" reached its peak position on both the Hot 100 (at number 52, in its ninth week of 13) and on the Hot 100 Airplay chart (at number 42, and in its eighth week of 10). Music video The music video for "Special" was filmed over a four-day shoot in London by director Dawn Shadforth for Black Dog/RSA Films. Shadforth came to Garbage's attention when they viewed her clip for "Beat Goes On" by electronica group All Seeing I. Her innovative storyboard treatment for "Special" highly impressed the band, as her concept was not an obvious idea for a song like "Special". In her concept for "Special", Shadforth featured the members of Garbage in a dogfight in the skies of an alien world. Before production of the video commenced, Shadforth fashioned four study models of the fighter planes to enable her to plan in advance the shots and edits she needed to tell the storyline. The planes were designed by graphic artists who had worked on visual effects for Lost in Space and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Each band member was given a personalized plane design, emblazoned with imagery inspired by manga and sci-fi art; while each filmed their parts in a cabin set built upon a gimbal to give realism to the shots. Stylist William Baker, who worked on the video, said, "Dawn wanted to present Shirley Manson as a space-age fighter pilot, with shots showing her sexily manipulating the controls of her craft." (Shadforth later used techniques she used on the "Special" video in her 2001 music video for Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head".) The video ends with the phrase, highly ominous in context of its story line, "To be continued..." However, Shadforth, as of early July 2016, had formed no known plans for any follow-up videos. Throughout 1999, the "Special" music video received a number of nominations from industry panels. In April, Garbage were the leading nominee for the MVPA Video Music Awards, with six nominations shared between the videos for "Special" and "Push It". "Special" was nominated for Best Special Effects (to SFX UK). In September, the "Special" video was nominated for Best Art Direction and won the award for Best Special Effects at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. In December, the "Special" video won the Visionary
