Music videos…best of
Please be creative…and different. Great directors like Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, Jim Jarmusch, Russell Mulcahy, Jonathan Demme, Jonathan Glazer, John Hillcoat, and John Landis have tried it, and made it. Some started out making music-videos, and then movies.
Music video star-directors like Anton Corbijn, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Jonas Åkerlund, Bill Cunningham, Mark Romanek and Samuel Bayer made music-videos an artform. Rising stars like Canada, Christian Breslauer, Hiro Murai, Dave Meyers, Aube Perrie, Tanu Muino, Daniel Askill and many more are so interesting to follow.

- DirectorJonathan GlazerStarsRichard FileCraig KellyDenis LavantA man wearing a heavy parka is walking along the middle of the road in a busy car tunnel. He appears to be disoriented, mumbling and shouting incoherences, only occasionally including intelligible words such as "Cristo", "Allahu Akbar", and "sinner!" Some of the cars honk at him and swerve out of his way. All of a sudden a car hits him from the side, and he is left on the ground. The car continues its course without stopping or slowing down. After a while, the man stands up and starts walking again as if nothing had happened. Then another car hits him; this time the hit occurs straight on and sends him flying a couple of feet. A passing motorist watches with contempt as the man rolls in the street. The man gets up again. A car swerves by and slows down alongside the man, occupied by three young men. The driver repeatedly inquires as to the man's destination, who for his part seems oblivious to their presence and continues along his way blurting, "Saint Christopher"; the driver soon tires of this and speeds off whilst calling out, "Nice coat, man!" Another car hits the man, and he gets up almost instantly. More accidents occur, some cars honk, some cars swerve out of the way -- but none stop. The man removes his parka and throws it on the ground. He is shirtless underneath, and we see his chest covered with bruises and cuts. He smiles and opens his arms in a crucifix-like position. A Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 is coming his way and has no intention of stopping. The car hits the man, but this time he stands unmoved, and the car is destroyed upon impact.
