Michel Gondry

Renowned for his inventive and manipulative visual style, French film maker Michel Gondry first came to my attention with his brilliantly eye-catching music videos for Icelandic musician Bjork as well as other bands such as Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers. He later went on to work for the award-winning and critically acclaimed movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

One music video that I did not know was created by Gondry until this research turns out to be one of my all-time favourites. The White Stripes insane music video for "Fell In Love With a Girl" consists of an almost two minute long LEGO animation of the duo in different situations with each segment rebuilding the bricks frame by frame giving the illusion of continuity. Here is the video below:

I love how abstract this video is and although it doesn't correlate with the actual song, it still catches your attention and grabs you, draws you in. I think this was the intention as with it being such a short song something was needed to draw people's interest. I can definitely call myself a fan of Michel Gondry's work and appreciate how powerful film work can be.
