1. How did Bjork and Chris collaborate on the All is Full of Love video?
They both put their own ideas in and then chose the ones they were both happy with. Bjork had to stay in the same position as the robot and sing while Chris did photos of the movements. The after work was also very important in the process of making the video.
2. What techniques were used on the Portishead video to create the unusual slow motion effects?
The boy and singer, Beth Gibbons were filmed submerged in a huge water tank. Then these shots were super-exposed over the dark alley to create a dreamy but kind of a creepy effect. They also had to airbrush the air bubbles in post-production.
3. What other music video directors have gone to direct feature films? Name two and the feature films they made.
a, Michel Gondry - He started making music videos for a band he was the drummer in, then worked with for Bjork, The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, Paul McCartney, etc. His feature films include Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (2004), The Science of Sleep (2006), etc.
b, Floria Sigismondi - She directed music videos for Marilyn Manson, Sugor Ros, Muse, The White Stripes, etc. In 2010 her first feature film was released, The Runaways.
4. Which famous sci-fi film did Chris Cunningham work on before he became a director?
After Stanley Kubrick seen Cunningham's work in the film, Judge Dredd, he asked him to design animatronic tests for the robot child character in his version of the film, A.I.. After working on that project for a year he left to become a director.
5. What makes his work different or original compared to other similar directors?
I think he is one of those few who isn't afraid of trying some new, strange, weird things that other directors would probably be scared to play around with. He combines the visuals with music perfectly.
