Spike Jonze is the most influential music video director of all time and this video is one of the reasons why. Innovation, creativity and brilliance. In this video for the song Southern California by punk rockers Wax - he get a stunt man on fire and films him running to catch a bus. The clip took around 12 seconds to shoot but they did it with a high speed camera so the vision is in super slo mo. There is something mesmerising about watching a man on fire running. At that spped you notice everything, every moment of the man, his environment as well as the dancing of the flames. Apparently they did 11 takes and used the third one - meaning they set a man on fire unnecessarily 8 times!!! That's just how this bizzare ADD director works and the results speak volumes for his creative genius. Please enjoy another one of my favourite all time videos
