Auteur music video director research

Chris Milk is a visual artist who started his career by directing music videos and creating TV advertisements for companies such as Nintendo. His first videos were for artists such as The Chemical Brothers, U2 and Audioslave, and he also created the Johnny Cash Project, a music video designed to combine different artists drawings to create a music video.

From there he moved on to creating an interactive music video for Arcade Fire, an interactive art piece called The Treachery of Sanctuary, and even exploring mediums through virtual reality in Beck’s live music video. This has been shown in other examples too like ‘The Exquisite Forest’ and ‘Summer into dust’.

His work all revolves around the same concepts, using technology in engaging ways and involving the audience, and believes in exploring the futuristic way of storytelling beyond film and current means.
