Director Research

I have decided to research a diverse range of directors; this is due to my broad taste in music and music videos.

Pete Candeland
After watching a variety of music videos from the last 15 years or so there are various director’s productions which have caught my eye, the work of Pete Candeland in particular as it diverts away from the typical popular culture videos created on a regular basis. He directed many music videos for the band ‘Gorrilaz’, these videos consisted mostly of cartoon type images.

Pete Candeland also developed and directed other types of media, he helped produce ‘The Beatles: Rock Band’, a popular music video game. Pete began producing hit videos in approximately 1993, starting out doing various TV shows in Australia, he then got scouted to direct and produce the music videos for the ‘Gorrilaz’ in 2002. My sources for this information arrived predominantly from imdb.com, however, information can also be found around the company passion pictures of which he plays a major what.

Eran Creevy

The 2nd director that has caught my eye was Eran "Rani" Creevy who directed "Let The Beats Roll" by Tim Deluxe.

He has had a major part in producing other media types too, for example; he was a production assistant in the popular 2004 film, 'Layer Cake'. He has spent a large amount of time progressing through the ranks in recnt years, he has held jobs from 'floor runner' to director. He has also directed the music video 'Destination Calabria'

Here is the link to the Destination Calabria video-

This particular video uses voyeurism to attract its audience. I like this directors work as he has created a video to suit the high tempo nature of the track. He maintains the conventional style associated with dance music.
