1. Chris Cunningham -- this stuff is wicked!!
has "created" videos for Aphex Twin, Portishead, Bjork, and many commericals

or maybe...
2. Michel Gondry -- if Prince could handle him
has "created" videos for Bjork, White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Massive Attack, and many others

or how about... ??
The Brothers Quay (originally from Minnesota, now in London)
Stephane Sednaoui (Bjork, Garbage, Tricky/Massive Attack)
Mark Romanek (Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Lenny Kravitz)
Anton Corbijn (Depeche Mode, U2, Nirvana)
Jonathan Glazer (Blur, Massive Attack, Jamiroquai, and many commercials)
Spike Jonze (Bjork, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Weezer, Chemical Brothers)

Michel Gondry is brilliant.

Hype Williams.

DynamicSavior said:

Hype has a suitable name cuz that's all he is.

I'd lean more towards some of Snap's suggestions.

The Brother's Quay would be cool even though they don't do videos, only inspire them.

Mad Dad Dan...director of porno classics "Splatman" and "The Flintbones". His work is exquisite.

in Prince's own words though:


who needs a freakin' video, if the groove ain't all good?
(...)
everything else is jack-off it all starts with a good song

yoko ono

David Lynch.

me?

Jonas Akerlund

Maybe even Francis Lawrence.

i dont care for music videos. i feel they have detracted from the music, although i am ssure some are very beautiful and created in the truest artistic sense.

I had to choose it would have to be Jonathan Glazer, he has a style which always fits the mood rather than being instantly recognisable like the other directors

Snap said:

haha doubt it would suite his music, most Cunningham vids leave you scared shitless.

Albert Magnoli

JediMaster said:

That is the most brilliant suggestion imo.

What about Woody Allen? A music video starting with a 10 min dialogue about sex problems and psychoanalysis?

MickG said:

What kinda video would you make for Prince???

Something like "Alphabet St."???

Cheek said:

Snap said:

He's such a clever director, his videos are impressive!

I'd love Jean-Baptiste Mondino as well

I think Spike Lee did Prince good.

TIM BURTON....if Prince does a kinda FANTASY.....Otherwise why Can't he Try...working with JERMAINE DUPRI and then there is Wild stuff like MATTHEW BARNEY.....He also could have JOHN SINGLETON.....ALMADOVAR or WATERS.....Wild People with INTERESTING IDEAS and DAVID LACHAPELLE I ADORE also.
