Michel Gondry Research

Michel Gondry started out his career by creating music videos for the French rock band 'Oui Oui'. In his time as a director he has directed such films as 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', and the recent hit 'Be Kind, Rewind'. Among these he has also directed 'Human Nature' and 'The Science of Sleep'.

He also has directed music videos for Kanye West, The White Stripes, Björk and my favourite of his videos - Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers. Whilst not being a big fan of the song or band the Star Guitar video is very impressive and intriguing to watch. It features what appears to be a train journey, but with different objects (such as light-posts, buildings) representing an individual sound in the song.

The video for the song can be found here:

I think this is a very clever idea for a music video and have considered using elements from it in my video. However, I would like to add more than just a video like that as I believe that the video gets rather boring after a while.
