Video Directors

I’ve found that no artist uses just one music director for all of their videos, no matter how successful the videos may be. This is mainly because in each video there are different meanings or preferred looks therefore they may require a different style. Here are a few examples:

Justin Timberlake
· LoveStoned: Robert Hales
· SexyBack: Michael Haussman
· Cry Me A Rover: Francis Lawrence

Nickelback
· Photograph: Nigel Dick
· Saving Me: Nigel Dick
· Far Away: Nigel Dick
· If Everyone Cared: Dori Oskowitz

Eminem
· Cleaning Out My Closet: Philip G Atwell
· Stan: Philip G Atwell
· Guilty Cconscience: Philip G Atwell
· Without Me: Joseph Kahn
· Mosh: Ian Inaba

Beyonce
· Crazy in Love: Jake Neva
· Baby Boy: Jake Neva
· Naughty Girl: Jake Neva
· Me Myself and I: Johan Renck
· Ring the Alarm: Sophie Muller

Fall Out Boy
· Thnks Fr Th Mmrs: Alan Ferguson
· Sugar, We're Goin' Down: Matt Lenski
· This Aint A Scene, It's an Arms Race: Alan Ferguson


In cases such as Linkin Park with such a creative group of people it is possible for some of the band members to either solely or help direct the music videos. For example What I've Done was directed by Joe Hahn who has also directed videos for others such as Static-X, Story of the Year, Xzibit, X-ecutioners and Alkaline Trio.
