In the years since the video revolution of the '80s, music videos have become a proving ground for budding directors who later become some of the most daring creators of the big screen, people like David Fincher, Spike Jonze, or Michel Gondry who cut their teeth on MTV well before moving on to feature films. But what about the opposite case-famous movie directors who try their hands at a music video or two, be it out of curiosity, respect for the artist, the need for work, or just the dang hell of it? "In a Smaller Frame" is an attempt to dip our proverbial toes in the topic with a list that's far from exhaustive (you would not believe how many I had to leave out), but which hopefully serves as a worthy introduction.
The only ground rules for inclusion in this list are that (1) the director' had made at least one known feature before making their first video, and (2) the video could not be a commercial tie-in to a movie they've made. (Which is to say that Richard Donner's clip for Cyndi Lauper's "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" did not make the cut. Sorry to some of you in advance, and you know who you are.) Please feel free to let me know of any personal favorites I might have overlooked in the comments.
