Just having a flick through YouTube and came across a music video that I love...
Michel Gondry is a French film director and I fell head over heels in love with his work when I watched a DVD of his music videos a few years ago. His ideas and concepts are just phenomenol and he has quite a childlike vision which he talk about more in the documentary accompanying the DVD called "I'll be 12 forever".
MG has directed music videos for a number of less well known French artists, particularly earlier on his career, but also for Kylie Minogue, Bjork, Daft Punk, The White Stripes and The Chemical Brothers. He has also directed the feature film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind which you should definitely see if you haven't already and I totally recommend watching all the behind the scenes films in the special features bit of the DVD! This video here for Daft Punk's Around the World track is one of my favourites and mainly just because of his ideas behind the concept - basically each set of characters in the video personifies a different instrument and beat in the track..but you really need to hear the dialogue from the man himself, it's his idea so he explains much better than I ever could so you'll just have to watch the DVD yourself ;)
