← Back | Director | 9 Music Videos
Michel Gondry, a music video maestro, has continually astounded us with his delightfully eccentric and innovative vision. This French director's contribution to the music video landscape ranges from his early work with Björk to his later collaborations with The White Stripes, Kanye West, and others. The beauty of Gondry's work lies in the dream-like surrealism he injects into every visual narrative, and the child-like playfulness he balances with mature topics.
One of Gondry's most notable works was Björk's "Human Behaviour," a cosmic fairytale swirling with handcrafted effects that convincingly sold the concept of a goldfish-sized Björk battling a giant teddy-bear commenced Gondry's legacy. His hold on pop music's imagination was cemented monumental with The White Stripes' "Fell in Love with a Girl," in which Gondry used LEGO bricks to recreate the band in action, an animation that incited many a brave LEGO craftsman's envy. An interesting bit - he conjured up the idea while playing with his son’s Lego set. Meanwhile, his works in Daft Punk's "Around The World," which translates lyrics into literal choreography, and Kanye West's "Heard ‘Em Say," a poignant black-and-white animation painted with social commentary, showcase Gondry's ability to push the boundaries of the music video format. His ingenuity and unorthodox style have undoubtedly influenced countless music video directors, encouraging a broader creative approach in the industry.
