Spike Jonze - Directors Challege Research

Frequent collaborators: cinematographer Lance Acord, writer Charlie Kaufman, actor Chris Cooper. His films/music videos are off-beat in their visual storytelling, particularly their mix of live-action, animation, and puppetry. Seamless integration of special effects into live-action photography also feature in alot of his videos. Jonze’s has a reputation as one of the most imaginative, intelligent, and daring filmmakers working today was established early on with his legendary skateboard videos, music videos, and commercials, and has since been cemented by three feature films. Some features which come up in alot of his videos:

  • Diegetic sounds
  • City location
  • Slow motion footage
  • All one take videos
  • Intertexuality
  • Performance footage
  • Lip syncing
  • Concept videos
  • Narrative
  • Special fx
  • Animation
  • Visual storytelling
  • Cutting to the beat
  • Focus of the singer
  • Long takes
  • Camera movement
