Michel Gondry was born on May the 8th , 1963 is an
Academy Award winning filmmaker, whose works include being a commercial
director, music video director, and a screenwriter. He is noted for his
inventive visual style and manipulation of mise en scene. His career as a
filmmaker started with creating music videos for the french rock band Oui Oui,
in which he was also a drummer in the band.
He has also directed many music video such as "Dance Tonight" - paul mcCartney, "Heard
'em say" - by Kanye west, he has filmed many other films but these are the
one's Im mostly interested in, as they have certain aspects that Im interested
in, that could compliment my music video and that i have analised. Although he has had many successful videos, he hasn't received any award for his music videos, however, he has received awards and critical acclaim for his features films, such as 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' where he received twenty two nominations and won ten of those awards.
Here's an example of his work -
Here's a very good insight into how the video was made.
Spike Jonze is another music video director. He's directed and co-directed many music videos including Bjork, Ludacris, Kanye West, Weezer and Fatboy Slim. These music genres are very unique and massively different to each other and this is why he really inspires me as he can adapt to different genres. His collaboration with Fatboy Slim to make the video 'Praise You' in which Jonze himself starred under the pseudonym of Richard Koufey was arguably his most well known music video, as he won three MTV awards. Personally i believe that award don't tell the full story, and they depend more upon the collaboration of the artists, not their talent.

The video was shot outside a movie theatre in California without obtaining permission from the owners, this is known as 'guerrilla style'. In the video Jonze and the dance group dance to 'Praise You' in front of puzzled onlookers. This really appeals to me, as its real, real emotion witch you can't re create, but at this stage i would love to believe a could do it, but i think it would be to hard to organise, but maybe something on a small scale
Spike Jonze is an American director, actor and producer, who's work includes music, videos, commercials, films and television. He has collaborated with writer charlie kaufman which includes the 1999
film being john malkovich that got him a Academy Award for best
director nomination. He is also well known for his music collaborations with
weezer, beastie boys, and bjork, which is where i am particularly interested
in, and have research many peaices by spike Jonze, shown here which has been
both helpful for ideas and also inspiring. His other work includes being
executive producer of MTV's Jackass which appeals to me, and also he an
entrepreneur as he is part owner of a skateboarding company, which has inspired
me in media and also in business studies.
Researching these both directors has taught me that they all have their own individual styles and that they incorporate into the music video, witch i think is needed, as it keeps individuality that shows in their music video's and many bands and performers might prefer a certain directors apposed to another, which will give the director a collaboration and that will add to their portfollio, and hopefully i will be able to add my own style, or at least my own twists.
