New Visionaries - Dan

Chris Cunningham

The Horrors - Sheena Is a Parasite: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gZMrwZItOGE I like this video because it is very simple and very dark. It is not commercial at all and would definitely be offputting to a squemish audience as it shows a womans guts flying towards the screen several times in time to the music, this could be seen as amplification.

Placebo - 36 Degrees: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T0RpShS5FeQ Once again this is very similar to the style shown in The Horrors video Sheena Is a Parasite. it is very dark and utilises mise-en-scene to full effect. The use underwater camera scenes and white make up to make the band look gaunt, it is certainly not a commercial video.

Michel Gondry

Daft Punk - Around The World: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=K0HSD_i2DvA A very simple video which uses dance and character motion to represent the song. It is no doubt very appealing but also slightly strange as it contains characters dressed as skeletons and the like.

The Vines - Ride: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yYfnf6ydcb0&feature=related Michel and his brother Olivier "Twist" co-directed a new video for the Vines, called "Ride." The video was filmed in late January 2004 and is online at TheVines.com. Or see it at partizan.
