Jonathan Glazer


Jonathan Glazer was born 1965 in London and is an English director of films, commercials and music videos. He started out directing theatre and making film and television trailers, including award-winning work for the BBC.
Reviewing Glazers's work, you can see how similar most of his work is however they are all original in their own ways. There are themes in each video that we watched that are comparable. In some of his work, his videos are black and white and this is shown in some of his adverts, such as for Stella Artois: "Ice Skating Priests" (April 2006) and Guinness: "Surfer" (March 1999). The adverts for these two products are set out similarly however, one has a voice over and the other doesn't. We can see how Glazer's style of work comes across in each of them. His work has won him many awards, especially the 'Surfer', which won more awards than any other advertisement before.
