For over three decades now, music videos have represented the sum of the media\u2019s ability to capture public imagination and use it to sell something\u2014in this case, music.<\/p>\n<p>The people behind the videos, the producers and directors, have honed the skill of making great video to a point of near-perfection; in this post we\u2019re looking into the people behind some of the most notable and audience-grabbing music videos of the recent past, because frankly, we could all learn from them. They are, after all, the masters. Read on for the inside scoop on six of your favorite music videos.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KWZGAExj-es\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"sias-chandelier-elastic-heart-etc\">1. Sia\u2019s \u201cChandelier,\u201d \u201cElastic Heart,\u201d etc.<\/h3>\n<p>Sia\u2019s recent videos \u201cChandelier\u201d and \u201cElastic Heart\u201d both made a huge splash in 2014 and 2015, partly because of the mad dance skills of virtuoso dancer Maddie Zeigler, and partly because of how weird, interesting and beautiful the videos themselves are.<\/p>\n<p>Minimalist aesthetics and powerful talent\u2014in Zeigler and Shia LeBeouf\u2014came together in an amazing pair of videos with a naked feel to them, bespeaking raw emotion. Sia herself co-directed these videos with Daniel Askill, an Australian filmmaker who is also an artist in other media, including sculpture and video installation. One of his most acclaimed works is the surreal short film We Have Decided Not to Die (2003) which won several festival prizes.<\/p>\n<p>LeBeouf and Zeigler also played huge roles in the success of the videos, with their passion and dedication praised by the directors. (Not surprisingly, \u201cChandelier\u201d won the 2014 MTV Music Award for Best Choreography in a Video.)<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"taylor-swift-bad-blood\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QcIy9NiNbmo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"taylor-swift-bad-blood\">2. Taylor Swift, \u201cBad Blood\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>This video takes the concept of a friendship feud to the next level, casting Taylor Swift as the protagonist and a member of what seems to be space-age training camp for terrifying and beautiful agents including Lena Dubham, Ellie Goulding, Jessica Alba, and \u201cHeadmistress\u201d Cindy Crawford\u2014all wielding Matrix-style skills and serious weaponry. (Get the full cameo list here.) Visuals are sleek, dark, and laser-sharp.<\/p>\n<p>The video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who\u2019s also known for such awesomeness as Britney Spears\u2019s \u201cToxic\u201d and \u201cWomanizer,\u201d Brandy and Monica\u2019s \u201cThe Boy is Mine\u201d and\u2014to throw back\u2014Janet Jackson\u2019s \u201cDoesn\u2019t Really Matter.\u201d His signature style has a little bit of Japanese pop culture thrown in, and he has won too many awards to list.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ShlW5plD_40\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"meghan-trainor-dear-future-husband\">3. Meghan Trainor, \u201cDear Future Husband\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Meghan Trainor is building a brand on retro, 1960s pastels combined with modern-day sass in her recent videos \u201cAll About That Bass\u201d and \u201cDear Future Husband.\u201d The latter depicts Trainor auditioning overconfident young men for the coveted \u201cfuture husband\u201d role using what looks like a combination of Tinder and Match.com, having them over for dates, and shooting them down one by one. It\u2019s made less harsh by a brightly-dressed barbershop quartet\u2014dancing, not singing\u2014and the fact that, in a realistic turn, she ultimately goes for the nice guy who just shows up with a pizza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDear Future Husband\u201d (as well as \u201cAll About That Bass\u201d) were directed by Fatima Robinson, who has directed and choreographed some amazing stuff including Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cRemember the Time\u201d Mary J. Blige\u2019s \u201cFamily Affair,\u201d and\u2014get this\u2014the HBO Inauguration event for President Barack Obama. Robinson is known for her intense creativity and artistic eye for movement.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vnoz5uBEWOA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"kiesza-hideaway\">4. Kiesza, \u201cHideaway\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>This video from newcomer to fame Kiesza is really all about the dancing. It\u2019s super low-budget, and by that we mean it was taken in a single shot, placed against the real urban backdrop of Brooklyn in all its graffitoed, gritty glory, and filmed in a total of 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The video is pretty much just Kiesza dancing, \u201880\u2019s street-style to the synth-y song, being joined by various other dancers, and creates what ultimately falls somewhere between flashmob and outdoor club. A little-known fact: Keisza broke her rib just before making the video, so she was pretty much in pain the entire time\u2014and you can\u2019t even tell.<\/p>\n<p>Staying with the low-budget theme, the video was filmed by Kiesza\u2019s brother, Blayre Ellestad, and co-directed\/co-produced by Kiesza, Rami Samir Afuni, and choreographer Ljuba Castot. Not too shabby for a video nominated for the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography AND the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"iggy-azalea-fancy\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O-zpOMYRi0w\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"iggy-azalea-fancy\">5. Iggy Azalea, \u201cFancy\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>A re-enactment of scenes from the 1990s hit film Clueless, the video for \u201cFancy\u201d depicts shiny LA for rich teenagers: upper-echelons high school, entitlement, parties, Cher\u2019s most famous outfits, and of course the two-handed \u201cWhatever\u201d sign. While it\u2019s not exactly inventing the wheel, the video taps into nostalgia and gives us back a little bit of the past\u2014which is sometimes even better. As a result, the video was nominated for four awards at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, showing it definitely struck a chord.<\/p>\n<p>The video was directed by Julien Christian Lutz, better known as Director X, who has a long list of directorial credits for artists including Flo Rida, Jamie Foxx, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, and Busta Rhymes. X is credited with helping to put Canadian hiphop on the map, and has a reputation for helping squeaky-clean young stars (like Justin Beiber) break into new, more grown-up territory. So Clueless is a perfect fit.<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/09R8_2nJtjg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"maroon-5-sugar\">6. Maroon 5, \u201cSugar\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>If the last video was all about the dancing, this one\u2019s all about the story: to quote Adam Levine at the start of the video, \u201cWe\u2019re going to drive across LA and hit every wedding we possibly can.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what happens, making for an incredibly feel-good video full of surprise Maroon 5 performances, hugs, dancing, kissing, and a lot of \u201cHey look I\u2019m a rock star and I\u2019m at your wedding\u201d moments. It\u2019s basically a real version of that film The Wedding Crashers, but less funny and more sweet (and the grooms were in on it).<\/p>\n<p>So maybe you won\u2019t be surprised to find out that it was directed by none other than the director of The Wedding Crashers, David Dobkin. Dobkin and Levine, long-time friends, came together on the project idea. Dobkin is owed a lot of credit for his groom-calming skills as well as his directorial ones: apparently a few days before shooting began, most of the grooms started getting nervous and wanted to cancel the wedding crash, and Dobkin met with each of them and talked them out of canceling.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Have a favorite video that you\u2019d like us to include in the next roundup?
