Title: What is your favourite Michel Gondry music video ?
Post by: Ben_j on Aug 03, 2016, 18:48
And I mean not just your favourite Gondry/Chems music video, what's your favourite from ALL of Gondry's videos (see a list here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Gondry))

Mine would be a tie between Kylie Minogue's Come into My World, for the crazy idea that could seem impossible to do, but that Gondry somewhat achieved. (but the music is a bit meh...)

And Bjork's Bachelorette as a whole, perfect music, perfect design, and another simple, crazy idea, looping on itself much like the Kylie video.

Yeah, that Kylie Minogue one is a real good one, but my favourite three would be

Massive Attack - Protection

I like how the camera is flying around the buildung.




Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM

What started with Daft Punks 'Around The World' video has find it's peak in this video. You cannot not enjoy how every beat in the song is somehow displayed in the video.




The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button

Same idea like Around The World and Star Guitar, but not as complex. Still a nice watch.

I love all the above, but hands down, his video for Bjork's Hyperballad is my winner. Zero CGI or editing in post, besides color correction. All done using long shots of multiple exposed film. I still can't figure out how some of it was done.

The Fluke remix of this song is also pretty legendary if you haven't heard it, especially the illegal Lucky Monkeys version of it called Bjango.

I'm with WhiteNoise on Bjorks Hyperballad. Excellent track as well.

But also the Lego classic Fell in love with a girl is top! The labour of that one (yeah I know half is CGI but I mean the other half)

I'm a big fan of Michel Gondry films as well. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is a classic must see movie.
