Michel Gondry is the French director of the simply wonderful Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. However, he made his name and learned his trade in music videos, and here are a few of my favourites.
The Hardest Button to Button
A simple concept, brilliantly executed. Just imagine the editing job that went into this to get the cuts spot on to the drumbeats.
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground
This is an ingenious concept, with a great way of telling the story of previous events through the filter of the present. Gondry filmed the "past" storyline first, then projected it back onto the walls of the same location as he filmed Jack White in the "present" collecting up his belongings. It works. And it's really, really clever.
Fell in Love with a Girl
I love lego.
Come into My World
Kylie. Again, Gondry has the past playing out as the present continues around it. Plenty of CGI here - a bit beyond A-Level Media, but inventive, creative and interesting.
