Music Video Research - Royksopp and Thomas Hilland

Royksopp - Sparks



Royksopp - Eple

Both the music videos are for Royksopp and were created by Thomas Hilland. His much-acclaimed work for Royksopp saw him signed by Partizan for worldwide representation for commercials and promos, leading to being nominated as best young director in Cannes as well as being picked by Boards Magazine as one of the world’s top 10 directors in their First Boards Awards. I think that both videos he did for Royksopp have such contrasting styles that work so well with the different style of the tracks. I especially like the video for 'Sparks', it doesn't feel like there is much going on in the video but after i watch it i still feel like its taken me on a journey. I think this is down to the roaming camera that seems to float along with the dream like music. It's another video that captures the feel and mood of the music so well and as I've said before it is this aspect that i like in a music video.

Royksopp have a history of really good music videos another which is at the end of this post 'Remind Me', which takes its inspiration from information graphics. It was created by French motion graphics studio H5. Royksopp really embrace the music video and are contantly using different styles and helping to evolve the music video genre.
