Product Description
Product Description
Music videos have radically changed the way we look at the world. Instantly accessible on a global scale, these revolutionary videos have reflected and influenced popular culture, fashion, sports, advertising, art, cinema, television, and new media -- as well as music itself.
Thirty Frames Per Second is the first book to showcase the artistic vision of the music video director. What began two decades ago as little more than a marketing tool showing a band's stage performance has now become a director's medium of expression and experimentation. Spike Jonze, Peter Care, Kevin Kerslake, Mark Romanek, and David Fincher are among the 55 top directors featured -- many of whom have come from backgrounds in film, advertising, photography, fine art, or architecture, and some of whom have gone on to make feature films. Nearly 400 stills, culled from the most compelling and influential videos, make this visually stimulating survey of the genre a powerful testament to a brashly innovative contemporary art form.

Format:Paperback
although compared to what's available on the subject it's quite OK it didn't live up to my expectations; to summarize the contents: a bunch of shots of different music videos and others. The design is quite something and the layout and print quality are great. Depending on your expectations it may be a great buy, this book does not teach you anything (not that it was the purpose)it's a bit of an album. A coffee table book or a reference guide to the inspirationless designer. Check Pause: 60 seconds for a similar (yet not as inspiring/attractive) approach.

Overlooked No More!!
11 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
The video is an amazingly overlooked artform. Sure there are plenty of bad throw-away videos made daily, but there are others not so forgettable. This book not only acknowledges that fact, but does a great job of convincing the reader. From Bjork to U2 several artists are known for thier innovation and creativity not only in the recording studio but in the film studio as well. The book does not forget the directors behind these visions. If you look at the names you will see a cross reference of visual artists,fashion photographers big name movie directors and soon-to-be movie directors. 33 frames is a visual treat to look at for both the music fan, photog-lover and coffee book collector. ake a look!.

a design masterpiece
25 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you love the art of music video - you must buy this book. Just think of all the books written on movies and this really is the first to appreciate the music video as an artform. Even if you are not a music video fan - the images are simply spectacular and the design a masterpiece. Steve Reiss is clearly a rising star of design. A must for video buffs, photography buffs or design buffs.

Exelent book

This book includes hundreds of stills from videos, from various artists, such as Chris Cunningham, Floria Sigismondi, Mark Romanek, Michel Gondry, Samuel Bayer and Anton Corbijn!!! It also gives you a short description on how these talented people got into the the music video buisness. If you have just a little interrest in music videos/Commercials or photography, this book is a must.
It includes forword by the autheur and an interview with Michael Stipe, on how Videos has influenced REM...

Its hard to find any information about music video/directors, but this book mentions all of them( allmost!).
If you want to see more, I highly recomend Floria Sigismondis Redemption, and Mark Romaneks Music Video Stills
