I think some folks here maybe worked on the original? I had nothing to do with this, but wore those old director’s label dvds OUT back in the day…
This is a gag that never gets old! Always enjoy it
It was awesome the first time, and now it’s even higher resolution awesome.
Reminds me of this that we did at MPC back in the 80’s. Reddit - The heart of the internet
Which was great, but not entirely original
True, but executed by a genius director by the name of Richard Dean.
this is quite good and it’s always great to see anything Gondry does. The people in reverse (with Margot Robbie in real time) is very clever but I don’t think this tops the Kylie Minogue video. That one is way more lively, shot on location which must have been absolute logistical nightmare, with so many funny narratives playing out in the background (love the woman throwing her boyfriends stuff into the street)
I had to re-watch the original after seeing the Chanel spot. I had a vague memory of it, but it would have been from a time before I worked in VFX. Absolutely incredible.
Youtube comments like this that get close and then completely miss, make me chuckle.
They actually shot this video in a single take, using a timed track around the set. There’s a making of video floating around somewhere, it’s fascinating to see how they got to this with minimal post-prod effects
I got to work with Michel on The Green Hornet. He’s truly brilliant.
I worked with Gondry on Green Hornet back in the day. I got along great with him. and we had a blast in the bay. He couldn’t stand my facility’s producer though, they fought all the time. ![]()
