Just revisited this site about Michael Gondry, who's recently got some attention for directing the Jim Carey movie 'Eternal Sunshine of a title no one ever finishes in conversation...'

I'd somehow failed to take in how many great music vids he'd done - I've been a fan of that Cibo Matto vid for years and years (props to src, my fellow top fiver :) but hadn't realised it was him behind all those Björk ones, that Kylie one, Massive Attack, Beck, Chemical Bros... lots of goodies.

Love this about the video for 'Fell in Love With a Girl':

"I really like the basic-ness of the music - one voice, one guitar, and one drum. I like this concept, and I thought it was very close to the primary color of the Lego blocks." On the video's creation: "We shot a very basic video of the band [in London], we edited it and then we had a program that pixelized the video, roughly the size of the Lego blocks and then we printed each frame [25 frames per second] on paper. Then we had an animation team building up Lego blocks to match each frame. Then we reshot each of those frames on a film camera. We didn't have enough Legos to do more than five frames at a time, so after five frames were shot [the Legos] were demolished to build the next five frames."

(still haven't seen or heard that song, but nice quote)

I love the fact he uses stop motion and projection and techniques like that where people might use computer generated animation.
