Director!

For my choice of music video director I have chosen Michael Bay.

Here are two videos' that he has directed previously:


Here are two images of Michael Bay:
Basic information about Michael Bay:
Michael Benjamin Bay was born on the 17th february, 1975. This would make him 36 years old. He is an American film director and also a producer. The films he has famously worked for include Transformers, Armaggedon, Pearl Harbour, Bad Boys and The Rock. Bay started in the film industry when he was just 15. Megan Fox blasted him on the set of Transformers, labelling him 'Hitler'.

Key artists Michael Bay has worked with:
  • Meatloaf
  • Aerosmith
  • Faith Hill
  • Vanilla Ice
  • Tina Turner
  • Lionel Richie
Other work:

Michael Bay was responsible for the advertising side of the launch of Victoria's Secret.
He also advertised the film Transformers, but was blasted for being 'weak' at it.

An account of his lifestyle:

  • Michael Bay dated Playboy centerfold Jaime Bergman.
  • Ranked #47 on Premiere's 2005 Power 50 List. Previously ranked #54 in 2004.
  • Good friends with Ben Affleck.
  • Bay considers himself an old-school director.
  • 'The Rock' is his favourite of the films he has directed.

My personal response to his work:

I admire the way Bay is not afraid to criticise his and other people's work. For example, 'I love it when people get really mean and call you a 'hack'. It's like, don't they see how well these movies are doing? ' this shows how he has his own opinion and is not afraid to defend his work when he feels it is needed.
I like Bay's style as it is incredibly edgy and he works with some of my favourite bands including Aerosmith. He captures the mood of the song, linking it with the artist's expression in a way that not many others can achieve.
