<p>I was actually going to say Michael Gondry, but you beat me to it!</p>

ninja.of.love September 18, 2007, 5:10pm 3

<p>Gondry and Jonze are my favorite two. The ones I listed weren’t in order of my preference, it’s just how I wound up listing them.</p>

LesOs September 18, 2007, 5:19pm 4

<p>Bahhh, I meant MichEl Gondry. I just automatically typed Michael because my fingers are so used to doing so.</p>

<p>Me too./**/</p>

<p>i was going to say MICHEL Gondry. Anyone here see Radiohead’s “Just” music video?</p>

SilvaRua September 19, 2007, 12:03pm 7

<p>Tony Petrossian. I only know of one video he did, but it’s one of the most unique, neat concepts I’ve ever seen;</p>

<p>Slayer-Eyes of the Insane; <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPy1ZHpJdZ8[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPy1ZHpJdZ8</a></p>

<p>^ First off I am not really a fan of slayer, and it gets annoying looking through the eye the whole time. I wish they would have done some other things, but eye was cool for a bit</p>

<p>Radiohead-Just <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwpW9oH9taw[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwpW9oH9taw</a></p>

<p>~~ watch it till the end.</p>

<p>Just is a brilliant video, I just wish his other music videos were as intensely good. My standards for output were pretty high, with Glazer and Cunningham each having 4 high profile music videos. The cover of Just on Mark Ronson’s album Version isn’t bad either. </p>

<p>I was also so-so on that Slayer video. It was a decent idea with decent execution but it isn’t all that creative beyond the original idea. Maybe Petrossian’s other stuff mixes it up a bit more.</p>
