Michel had had the color concept of the video for many years but hadn\u2019t managed to realize it yet. He proposed the idea to me, and I took up the challenge to write a new song that would be vibrant, upbeat and universal to match the visual palette. I wrote \u201cOpen Your Heart\u201d and recorded a demo version with Money Mark. Meanwhile, Michel had assembled a rainbow of clothing and along with a great costume team, we sewed all the 100 outfits for the video. I designed and sewed my own dress. Michel and I went out location scouting around my neighborhood, looking for unassuming urban settings with interesting or else very mundane architectural elements. We knew that concrete surroundings would show off the colors of the costumes, and we wanted to find staircases where we could assemble our rainbow. LA is such a driving city, that the landscape is often out of human proportion and gets lost in the rush. The video would bring the human element back to those spaces. I have lived in LA most of my life, and its images are deeply imprinted in me. It was a great opportunity to share with Michel some of the hidden city. The days for shooting were quickly approaching, and we did not have a final version of the song.

My mother and two aunties helped with craft services and had the great idea to distribute cold hand towels from ice chests at the hardest, hottest time of day.

Everyone working on the video was doing so out of love for their work and respect for Michel. It was a great team effort. The two days of shooting went so smoothly.

The following text comes courtesy the mini-biography of Michel Gondry found in Bj\u00f6rk's 1995 book Post. The interview was conducted by Sj\u00f3n Sigurdsson.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"As a child I was interested in the possibilities that Lego and Meccano opened up, to create and invent new discoveries. My cousin and I used Meccano to build a prototype cartoon machine, quite similar to the zoetrope. It was a black circle with a gap to look at the little drawings. One of the stories we drew was about a journey in which you fractal zoom from a larger infinity to a smaller infinity. It started in space, with the planets, and then closed in on the Earth, then the continents, the countries and cities, the streets and the houses, down through a chimney, deep into the wood and right into the little atoms. Then it zoomed back out to the planets again. It was about a minute long, and we were 12 years old.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"These days my cousin is an architect, but he is still interested in inventions. He loves the idea of visual stereo and he's discovered a machine that draws in 3D. As you can imagine it's quite complicated. You draw into the air with a cursor that's connected to two small arms, and each arm holds a pen. If you trace over someone's face with the cursor, each pen draws it from a slightly different angle. You can see the portrait in stereo when you look at it with 3D glasses.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"As well as the cartoon machine, we used to make a lot of flip books. You know, the ones where you draw a sequence of pictures and flip them fast so they seem to move. We did one with a story about a man who goes to the toilet. This hand comes up out of the toilet and grabs his penis and then drags it through all the pipes.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"At the time we were very interested in horrific images, gore; when you're young there's stuff you have to shit out and you like horror. Later you progress to other things but it's important at that age.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"I was drawing from a very young age. I liked it. When people know you can draw they ask you to draw different things, so it's as though you're already part of society. If you're good at drawing you have a social role, however young you are. And you produce something tangible at the same time as being creative.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"Drawing also increases your status at school. I was the best draughtsman in my class, and I was able to teach the other boys how to draw naked women. It was a very simple picture made out of three lines and they soon picked it up.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"You could say I came from a musical family. My grandfather, Constant Martin, invented one of the first keyboards. It was a little synthesizer called a Clavioline and I think 100,000 were sold in the UK alone. You'd stick it next to the piano and if you wanted to play the trumpet it would imitate one, in a shitty but charming kind of a way. My grandfather had an electronic church organ shop, which also did very well. Soon all the old pipe organs were replaced by electronic ones.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\"Then my father took over the shop. Of course my father was much more into pop culture. He started selling electric guitars and was very cool. But pretty soon he was bankrupt because he'd just give the instruments away.

I just listened to the music I had always liked.<br /><br />"Before he lost the shop my father gave me a drum kit and my brother a bass guitar. We formed a couple of bands together, that played punk rock...or maybe it was more like New Wave...and that's how I got into music. Then when I left Versailles to go to art college in Paris I formed the band Oui Oui with some friends from college." <div><br /></div><div>source : <a href="http://www.director-file.com/gondry/">http://www.director-file.com/gondry/</a></div>Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:01:35 GMThttp://michelgondry.soup.io/post/41513850/Michel-Gondry-was-born-and-raised-inurn:www-soup-io:1:41513850regular
