It all ends happily as all three band members are in the delivery room and see the baby. The chorus sees him in the booth, singing his song but, as the verses come through, he can be seen lying on his bed, taking a train and watching something at the cinema – one assumes a fictional ‘video’ for Lucas with the Lids Off. Standout Moment: (2:00): Where we see a close-up of the death threat/letter and both images are fused to spell out ‘You Killed Me’. Pitch: Everything is back to front and the wrong way around! The story of the video revolves around worker drones whose daily lives are cluttered. Standout Moment: (2:25): Beck appears in a cameo in a white suit and presents Jack with a “box with something in it”. The left of the screen shows her getting up and walking away whereas the right shows the moments before. In each location she's dressed in a different way and interacts with different objects. The multiple versions of Minogue interact and she literally ducks under a version of herself. It is nice to have a few different things spinning and it gives me the chance to concentrate on a specific area of music. The vehicle begins to sputter and slow, prompting Björk to check the motor. I guess he does not have a distinct and unified style: his work is definitely imaginative but Gondry is masterful in a number of different moulds. Björk tosses the diamond into the vehicle's mouth, apparently correcting its earlier affliction.

An earthquake hits and affects the situations: the baby is delivered but, elsewhere there is carnage on the streets as cars crash and the ground splits. With recent French productions ‘Moon Indigo’ and ‘Microbe & Gasoline’, Michel Gondry continues to fascinate audiences with his unique craft. The video is shot in black-and-white and it is filmed on a set. Gondry keeps the camera moving and takes us through the world of Lucas and the creation of a song. Seeing her as this tiny figure against the beauty and vastness of nature is a stirring and gorgeous image. While she is going to the room of the dentist, her image appears reflected in a series of mirrors that make it impossible to distinguish her real self. Standout Moment: (2:02): The gorilla dentist removes a diamond from Björk’s mouth. To me, there is no better music video director than Michel Gondry. When he was young, Gondry wanted to be a painter or an inventor. He has collaborated with Daft Punk, The White Stripes, The Rolling Stones, Chemical Brothers, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, and so many more. Björk herself describes the song's story as "Isobel goes to the city." The left-hand screen is shown is shot forward and the right is reversed. I know budgets are tight but there have been some terrific videos over the past few years – have any of them reached the same height as a Gondry masterpiece? BjörkとMichel Gondry Björk（ビョーク）について. so I should probably call this one the last!

It was inspired by Ray Davies’ 18975 Granada TV production, Starmaker. Album: A Life Less Ordinary (film soundtrack) (1997). Pitch: Let Forever Be often tops lists when we think of the best Michel Gondry videos. I feel stations like MTV helped push directors to new heights and there have been some iconic examples through the years. He sometimes does split-screen videos and will have two different threads playing that unite at a point; other times, he does a single-shot video and, in many ways, it is hard to define a ‘typical’ Michel Gondry video. It is an amazing technical feat and one that could have been sticky for the actors. She then bolts toward the museum's exit, concerning the guards and other patrons. www.openculture.com/2015/02/michel-gondry-finest-music-videos.html Pitch: In terms of the actual story, it follows Lucas as he takes us through various scenes. It is one of my favourite ever and is an early example of Gondry using split-screen effects to look at two different stories happening on screen at the same time. Michel Gondry has proven himself to be one of the most creative Directors out there and invents ways to compliment the musical artists with supporting imagery. Whether they are as relevant today as they were years ago remains to be seen but I think a well-directed and imaginative video can change a song and elevate it. In the 80s he entered in an art school in Paris where he could develop his graphic skills and where he also met friends with whom he created a pop-rock band called Oui-Oui. Each member makes it safely and hits the road – the first and middle shot by car; the final using a motorbike – but things go wrong as we witness a robbery, labour and a lost woman stranded.
