Spike Jonze Research

Spike Jonze is a music video/television advert/film director (and producer for films). His most famous work for films was that of his direction for 'Being John Malkovich'. anyone who watches that film will see that his style is notably a bit abstract and bizzare. Along with being quite dark at times.

He has directed (as well as often other things as well) seven films, and produced and featured in both of the Jackass films. His most recent direction of a feature length film was 'Where the Wild Things Are' that came out this year and he even more recently directed a short called 'We Were Once A Fairytale'.

He has directed many music videos such as (multiple) videos for the 'Beastie Boys' and, like Gondry, a video for Björk. - For her song 'It's Oh So Quiet'. Again, he has also worked with The Chemical Brothers, like Gondry.

He also directed the video for the song 'Crushed with Eyeliner' by REM. His style can be seen as bizzare and thoughtful, like Gondry, but with a bit of his skater past rubbed off onto it too.
