I loved the director's label dvd series (jonze gondry cunningham) and I am craving for more. Anybody know of any plans to showcase other works in this series? Or can anybody recommend some dvds with music videos as great as these? I heard the massive attack dvd was good but it seemed too bare bones for me to buy.
sharei just bought the Gondry DVD, if you like the really original artsy music videos, go and buy Radiohead's DVD called "7 Television Commercials". Awesome videos.

I already had 7 commercials before dvds came out. More recommendations please. Thank you
Yes, new ones are coming, heres the info.
from www.directorslabel.com :
Coming September 13
Volume 4: The Work of Mark Romanek
While working with such artists as Johnny Cash (Hurt), Audioslave (Cohise), Jay Z (99 Problems) and Nine Inch Nails (Closer), to name a few, Mark Romanek has directed many of the past decade's most distincitve and iconic music videos. In 1997, Romanek won the MTV Video Vanguard award and later directed the 2002 hit movie One Hour Photo, staring Robin Williams.
Personal Note: He also made the most costly video, Scream by Micheal and Janet Jackson.
Volume 5: The Work of Jonathan Glazer
Jonathan Glazer is a music video commercial icon whose extraordinary work reveals his gift for intense visual ambitation. After winning multiple awards for his short works he moved onto feture films and in 2001 released his debut film, Sexy Beast, starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone, followed in 2004 by Birth starring Nicole Kidman and Lauren Bacall.
Personall Note: The DVD info says it has excerpts of the two movies (im not sure why, id prefer more music videos) and he seems to have made mostly british rock band videos like Blur, Richard Ashcroft and Radiohead.
Volume 6: The Work of Anton Corbijn
Legendary music photographer and video directo Anton Corbijn is responsible for many of the most indelible images of the past two and a half decades. His lastes bestselling book U2 & I is a photographic retrospective (the seventh of its kind) of his 25 year collaboration with U2. Later this year, Anton will direct his first feture film, Control, based on the life of late Joy Division singer, Ian Curtis.
Personall Note: He made a lot of Depeche Mode videos and the Nirvan Heart Shaped box video with already makes this valuble to me.
Volume 7: The Work of Stephane Sednaoui
Stephane Sednaoui's career took off in the early 1990's following the phenomenal succes of his videos for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give it Away" and U2's "Mysterious Ways". Ever in high demand since, Stephane has continued to redifine music videos and photography with his stylish and unique work for R.E.M, Alanis Morissette, and many other
Theres a trailer in the website for those interested.
Looks good to me. Just wished they included all those Gondry,Cunningham,Jones videos they missed on the other three sets.
I can't wait til Sept 13. I checked out the site and all the DVDs look awesome. I'm particularly interested in Glazer. He's an awesome director. Thanks dude
