Translated from Google:

The vortex of name dropping, yes, stops when we talk about it. "Knowing Lady Gaga changed my life," says the director. "At that time I had almost thrown in the towel with the music videos, I felt they had died," recalls Akerlund, going back to 2009. "When the album as a physical format went to a better life, making video clips lost its meaning. Which they commanded, and they almost ****ed up this business altogether, while at the same time imposing their censure on us. " Dramatic break. "Then Lady Gaga appeared and told them to take it upside down: she decided to make her videos directly for the Internet, the only place where we could give them back the creativity," he adds. "Rolling Paparazzi with her made me want to continue my career."

After that first contact, Åkerlund and Gaga would coincide in the splendid Telephone and in John Wayne, work the latter of which the director feels more proud. "It's my favorite because it's the last one," he admits. "That's the problem of making video clips: they age very, very quickly." The only good that the passage of time has done to music videos, reflects Akerlund, is how cheap it is to produce one today. "When I started, the cameras and the editing machines were huge and very expensive, but today I only have a tip for anyone who wants to make a video clip: roll it out.It does not matter if the result is not 100% as you expected ", ends. "Just do it".

No  think he means it like it's the latest one.

Reading the "it's my favorite because it's the last one" is kinda saddening. Him and Gaga always produce eye catching and interesting videos together. :noparty:

What if it's a Gaga multiverse? And John Wayne ties both multiverses together?

I think he meant he likes it better because it's the video they made the most recently (compared to Paparazzi and Telephone that aged to him)

I thought he meant it was the most recent one but the translation makes it seem like he's done
