The Work Of Director
STÉPHANE SEDNAOUI

Sednaoui's specific style is one with a wide scope. It includes the annoying personalities of Alanis Morissette in a single vehicle location (Ironic), both the black & white effective simplicity and glowing neon colours of Björk (a day and night version of Big Time Sensuality, plus Possibly Maybe), the grittiness of the Black Crowes (with Sofia Coppola starring in Sometimes Salvation), the heavy post-production & glowing special FX, double exposure dissolves & weird martial arts theme of Mirwais (Disco Science, and I Can't Wait), the bright flashy look and visual distortion of U2 (Discotheque, and Mysterious Ways), a less inspiring clip for French hip-hoppers NTM (Le Monde De Demain), the silver glammy Red Hot Chili Peppers classic Give It Away (as well as Scar Tissue), and the point of view angle of Garbage (Queer). Others include Massive Attack (Sly), Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry (Seven Seconds), R.E.M. (Lotus), and Tricky (For Real, Hell Is Around The Corner, & Pumpkin). Besides interviews, you also get short films and animation that'll give you further insight into the man's art and process.
