Michel Gondry was born on the 8th of May 1963, and is a famed French film, screenwriter and music video director. He started out directing videos for French rock band Oui Oui, in which he was also drummer, before his talent was spotted by Icelandic artist Bjork. He was later asked to direct videos for artists such as Massive Attack, Radiohead, The Chemical Brothers and The Rolling Stones, due to his ability to manipulate mise-en-scene.
One of Gondry's most outstanding videos to date is the 1997 video for "Around the World" by French duo Daft Punk".
The video represents the song. We see several dancers, all which represent a different instrument or musical phrase within the song, on a circular platform which represents a vinyl record. For example, the athletes seen depict one section of the song, whilst the mummies represent the drum beat of the song. The depth of choreography and the clear connection between the music and the images is what I really enjoy about this video.
