A good film maker is a story-teller primarily, but also a magician, technician, philosopher, poet, and artist. But there is one thing I think I may enjoy more in film making than anything else. I love innovation. When a scene is over, or better yet, the whole movie is over, and I feel compelled to rewind it and watch it again, that is almost always a good sign. When somebody can take
old tools and use them a
new way, I'm impressed.
WIRED magazine did
an interview with the king of film innovation,
Michel Gondry. He invented
bullet time (made popular by
The Matrix) and countless other techniques that had never been done before.
A sampling of his work:
The video for
Daft Punk's
Around the World.

Have you ever watched these videos, especially the ones that are a visual of the sound, with the sound off? its pretty crazy that I can more or less tell what the song sounds like having never heard the actual music and having no headphones at the moment.
I love that Daft Punk one. So hypnotizing. The Kylie one is great too.
Raytown was always so up and coming on the newest hits.
Cool, I love Gondry too :)
He inspiring me and I do some works in animation!
