2015A2Esha: Director: David Wilson

David Wilson is an English music video director and animator from Wells, Somerset [1], currently residing in Los Angeles, California. [2] Wilson studied Illustration at Brighton University and did a foundation course in Art and Design at St. Martin's. [1] He is represented by the production company Colonel Blimp [3], a branch off Blink, an independent British production company and creative studio. [4] [5]

I found the director through the music video for David Guetts's 'Titanium', featuring Sia, from Guetta's fifth studio album Nothing but the Beat. [6] [7]

The music video stuck in my mind due to strange nature of the narrative, proving that a video does not need to be conventional to stand out and leave a lasting impression. The

From the one video it is evident that the director has a non-conventional and quirky outlook, but I wanted to see if this style strecthed throughout his creations and what other themes he incorporates in his work. Here is a selection of gifs for all of the other music videos he has directed, sourced from his website [8]:

Also from Wilson's website is an interview, presumably shot during his time with the Arctic Monkeys, making the video not current but it still contains some very useful information. After he gives a brief biography, Wilson goes onto discuss his developed style, accompanied with clips form his music videos, up to that point.
