His career as a filmmaker began with creating a music video for the French rock band Oui Oui in which he also served as a drummer. The style of his videos for the band caught the attention of music artist Bjork, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behaviour". The collaboration proved long lasting, with Gondry directing a total of eight music music videos for Bjork. Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion include Daft Punk, The White Stripes, Chemical Brothers, The Vines, Steriogram, Radiohead, and Beck. Gondry has also created numerous TV commericals. He also pioneered the 'bullet time' technique, later adapted in The Matrix, in a 1998 commercial for Smirnoff vodka, as well as directing a trio of intensive holiday-themed advertisements for retailer Gap.Here are some inspirational shots from Gondry's music videos:
