Iconic Director Case Study

Spike Jonze is both a film and music video director. He is a respected member of the industry and has directed videos for major artists.

Praise You, Fatboy Slim. Jonze directed the video for Fatboy Slims video, praise you. The video seems to be filmed in bad quality deliberately. The video is based around a group of people dancing in what looks like a shopping center attempting to amuse/annoy members of the public.



 Sabotage, Beastie Boys. In this video there is no correlation between the lyrics and the visuals. Jonze has directed the video to make it look like a 70’s American crime drama. I am uncertain of the meaning behind this, perhaps a contrast to the music.





Drop, The Pharcyde. This entire video is one entire tracking shot but to set it apart from similar videos Jonze has filmed to whole video in reverse, it is very created and extremely well done. It only becomes obvious when the rappers start moving in physically impossible ways.
