Chris Cunningham


We were given a DVD of Chris Cunningham's work to review. He is a director of music videos for a range of different artists such as Madonna and Bjork, has even created art installations and directed short movies and has created cover artwork through photography for various music artists. 

His work is very different and strange and a lot of the time you don't really know what is going on because there is so much happening at once.  They are an insight into his thoughts and how his mind sees things. His use of CGI to create strange imagery and different camera angles bring out the unique ideas that he has to bring to videos.


There is a lot of CGI used in this video in order to get her face to look realistic and believable on the robot. A lot of time and consideration must have been put into making the video and it shows, it is very technical and one his more beautiful pieces. 
Overall, I think that even though his work is bizarre most of the time, his effort put into making videos is much more impressive.
