Spike Jonze

American director as well as actor, got an academy award for best director in 2002. Produced music videos for Weezer and the Beastie Boys. Directed where the wild things are. Does a lot of work with skateboarding and BMX videos. Very striking approach to his video's, they're all very different but quite childish, likes to bend reality and include a lot of destruction.
Uses a lot of point of view shots and panning shots.

Spike Jonze on Prezi
This was my favourite director because of the originality of his work and I liked the obscurity of some of his ideas.
