2002
Kylie Minogue: Come into my world:, (QuickTime 30 Mb) directed by Michel Gondry. Quite amazing. Still like it.
Millionaire: Champagne. Great video, but off-line now. Directed by Philippe Dussol. A chase on rollerskates after a bank robbery shot in Paris. The short film Easy Money or Argent Content in French (QuickTime 58Mb) was shot first and has won various awards. It was re-edited for the music video.
Moby: In this world (QuickTime 26.8 Mb). Moving animated video.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers: By the way (QuickTime 12.9Mb). Great track. Great video. Scary taxi driver. Directed by Dayton/Faris.
Tosca: Honey, a collaboration of Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber. Very sensual camera work and dancing.
DJ Shadow: Six Days directed by Wong Kar-Wai (Fallen Angels, ChungKing Express, Happy Together, 2046) great camera work by Chris Doyle, beautiful saturated colours.
Telepopmusik: Breathe (QuickTime 41 Mb) A weird and beautiful video. If you like David Lynch you'll like this video.
Clinic: Walking with thee (QuickTime 14.7 Mb). Great animation involving mannequins.
Etienne de Crecy: Tempovision, more great animation this time set on the stock exchange. Do check out my own project The Fisher Account) created at the same time.
Coparck: Into routine shows that you don't need moving images to make an, ehhhh, moving picture.
Basement Jaxx: Where's your head at (QuickTime 60.8 Mb). I like the concept, perhaps not unsurprisingly, considering my research.
Faithless: Tarantula nice camera work (extreme close-ups).
FC Kahuna: Glitterball (QuickTime 7.2 Mb) directed by 4K has an interesting concept and special effects that go well with the title and the music.
Chemical Brothers: Star Guitar directed by Michel Gondry. Notice how the landscape and the music correlate, and yes, it was filmed with a DV camera from an ordinary train, what about that.
1 Giant Leap: My Culture another one of those "wish I'd made it" videos. like the transparent walking people at the end and the way the buildings just appear and turn around. The site is pretty good as well, wish I had that kind of budget!
DB Boulevard: Point of View. Just a funny animation video.
X-press 2 feat. David Byrne: Lazy . Great song, great video. Deserved to become a big hit but didn't.
Sven Väth: Mind Games was choreographed by a friend of mine, Jill Johnson and also features three other friends as dancers, Jone San Martin, Alan Barnes and Irene Klein, all (former) dancers with the Ballett Frankfurt (now the Forsythe Company). It's quite a nice video.

In music, dance, theatre and cinema creating a beginning or an end is more difficult than composing the middle part, because, as in chess, the number of possibilities is limited. Just listen to the final seconds of a random selection of songs on your iPod.
