Michel Gondry’s happy accidents Matt 18 comments Latest by Mike Harris

Five videos by director Michel Gondry:



Kylie Minogue: Come Into My World

“Minogue strolling around a city block within the Boulogne suburb of Paris, France. Each time she completes a circuit of the area, a new Minogue emerges from one of the stores (which is in fact the ‘old’ minogue, that did the circuit the first time around), and each of the people in the background are also duplicated. By the time the video concludes there are four Minogues and each background extra is also depicted four times.”



Daft Punk: Around the World

“This is meant to be a visual representation of the song; each element in the video represents a different instrument: the robots represent the talk box ‘robot voice’, the athletes move in time to the ascending-descending bass guitar, the disco girls represent the high-pitched keyboard, the skeletons move to the guitars, and the mummies represent the drum machine.”



White Stripes: Fell In Love With A Girl

“The video is shot frame by frame with each frame having the Lego bricks rebuilt, sometimes in a complex manner to seem as if it was an actual shot, and then formed together to give the illusion of motion. The video is considered to be one of the most complex videos using Lego bricks ever made.”
