yxi 4,999 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Lady Gaga and Arcade Fire Team Up with Spike Jonze for Live Music Videos at YouTube Awards Music video historians remember Spike Jonze as the director behind such innovative clips as “Drop†for the Pharcyde and Fatboy Slim‘s “Praise You.†Film critics are already buzzing about Oscar nominations for his upcoming feature film, Her. But first, the video visionary is set to direct the first-ever YouTube Music Awards this weekend (Nov. 3), boasting live performances from the likes of Eminem, Tyler the Creator and M.I.A. Jonze will be paying special attention to performers Lady Gaga and Arcade Fire, working with both acts to create live music videos during the ceremony. “It’ll be really interesting to try and pull it off,†Jonze told NME. “We have a whole handful of directors, we’re mixing the music video film world in with the live broadcast world and trying to make live music videos. “I’m doing an Arcade Fire for a song called ‘Afterlife’. I’m loving the album and that song,†he added, referencing Arcade Fire’s recently released Reflektor full-length. “Chris Milk and I are helping Lady Gaga. I was involved in choosing the artists. The whole thing has been spontaneous. It’s pretty fun. It’s soul-making and very by the seat of our pants.†The YouTube Awards are set to be hosted by comedian Reggie Watts and actor Jason Schwartzman, who will hand out the honors to winning nominees themselves without the aid of celebrity presenters or prepared jokes. “This is not a red carpet, fancy, pre-packaged, pre-produced thing,†Jonze told Rolling Stone about what fans can expect from the show. “I like the idea of making it about music and videos as opposed to everybody getting dressed up.â€http://news.radio.com/2013/10/31/lady-gaga-and-arcade-fire-team-up-with-spike-jonze-for-live-music-videos-at-youtube-awards/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Mr. Radio 45 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Aren't all live performance live music videos if theyre recorded? idgi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,221 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Aren't all live performance live music videos if theyre recorded? idgi There's probably going to be some big theatricality involved instead of a basic live performance. I'm imagining something akin to Beck's performance of Clap Hands on SNL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSrGYsciyjA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
