Three years in the wilderness and Jonathan Glazer returns with a music clip that screams out: "Snap! Fuckin' awesome!!" This one's for Jack White's Dead Weather experiment, and it's a fairly simple concept. Leather, machine guns, and White walking around a suburban land vacancy.
Glazer is responsible for some of my favourite commercials and music videos. There's the Guinness Surfer and Dreamer adverts. Levi Strauss' Odyssey. I'll continue on with the music videos. Radiohead's Karma Police. UNKLE's Rabbit In Your Headlight's. Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity. Anyone interested in music video should really check out the Director's Label DVD series and in particular, the work of director Jonathan Glazer. He demonstrates a strong european style across all of his work and it's really refreshing to go back over his showreel and embrace the "grainy" feel. Forget high-def gloss. I want something more rugged. Something like this:
Treat Me Like Your Mother
The Dead Weather
