a review on the compilation of michel gondry work . michel be french and sometimes well know a the drummer for ouioui . he have produce a number of innovative video for various artist and documentary and short clip . this video examine a body of his work from 1987 through 2003 for such artist a bjork and white stripe and the rolling stone . what i like about his video be that they not only move with the music and tell the story of the lyric but they have an incredible artistic content through his use of special effect and repeat image that leave one wonder how do he do that . each one be like watch a magic act and yet the entire clip run seamlessly from end to end . when i listen to music lyric and poetry or story there be this movie of sort that develop in my mind and i can almost become one with the music . video i like interpret the music in a way that lend to that in my mind and bring to life on the screen . kind of an extension of the music and another instrument . michel have a talent for bring the music into a visual medium in such a way that i be draw in further . in the stone video for like a roll stone we see the heroine who start out a socialite to become the junkie that she once mock and her life intertwining with her past and present and pleasant and harsh and posh v blatant . cibo matto video for sugar water take me a few watching to catch on to the effect he use for them . the video chronicle a day in the life of each of the two girl and frame side by side and except one start at the end of her day and the other at the beginning and and they converge in the middle of the piece in a catastrophe . thus the film could be play either direction for the same effect although it be so skillfully do that the viewer do not realize that at first lol and at least i do not . white stripe video use his technique of repeat image and echo in the camera and to produce image that be control by the beat or chord play . for instance and each time the base drum be strike and a new drum kit appear along side with the musician at that kit and like a mirror effect where eventually the instrument repeat into the horizon a the player advance . in his short flick for levi jean he produce a story and in gritty black and white set in 1930s depression era where the main player drive past scene from that era and arrive at a drug store and to buy and of all thing and condom . a the wary patron give him baneful stare and the druggist wish him well and he slip the condom tin into that little watch pocket thingy that those jean have and and be off and drive through the country side only to arrive at his girlfriend at night . her father answer the door and and to his dismay and it be the druggist from early and and the look on the father face be priceless as well and a here stand the young man he would make the sale to early lol . overall there be around 27 music video and twelve short film and flick and commentary section and a book and the cd can be purchase singly or you can do what i do and buy it in the boxed set with 3 other cd that cover other director and artist . always look for the good deal ya know lol .
