Honestly gives me a whole new appreciation for the telephone video. Gaga's mentioned how the video is busy and now he's also mentioning how she had too many ideas.

Busy?

 

Sus, they tried to fit as many promotional placements as they possible could into nine minutes and thirty one seconds. :gaycat:

Thank you so much for sharing this! 

Jonas is the reason I wanted to become a video editor. I grew up obsessing over his work. 

Funny thing, surrounded by metal heads, I once fell in love with this music video because it was so awkwardly creative and I could see that whoever directed it, had a vision and talent but it wasnt developed yet, which makes the video delightfully corny. Years later I found out Jonas directed it :huntyga:

I love how he's so candid and shines a light on the dark days of music videos in the mid 2000's when everything looked very rushed and simplified and bland.

Hope he works with Gaga again in the near future. I would love to see a very cinematic visceral video for a ballad with his vision. I feel that is something missing in her catalogue.

 

According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch

I find it super interesting that Beyonce worked with him quite a bit following Paparazzi. It was like, coinciding with her upping her visual game, she went to this guy she'd previously been around via Gaga and they *also* made magic. That's cool.

Thanks for sharing that. It sort of reminds me of a metal version of November Rain. Like, rather than being real it's all posey if you know what I mean. 

The greats have to start somewhere I suppose. It's cool that you have a good eye for talent. :staymad:
