Director

Dave Meyers

Dave Meyers directs a high-concept fairytale fantasy for&nbsp;Megan Thee Stallion's team-up&nbsp;Dua Lipa.Based on a concept by Megan Thee Stallion, the video follows two men as they wander into an otherworldly forest, before encountering the artists as you've never seen them before.&nbsp;Dark, sultry and enigmatic, the pair are introduced in the throws of a chaotic abode, which has gyrating legs for doors and a neverending spiral of spiky teeth lining the walls inside.&nbsp;The video only gets more absurd and visually complex from there, and the sheer scale of the concept - and the staggering amount of VFX&nbsp;work - pays off in an explosion of glossy set pieces and first class performances.&nbsp;It's jawdropping work - but that is what we have come to expect from the&nbsp;remarkable Dave Meyers and the brilliant team around him.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Chris Martin and Selena Gomez are worlds apart in this evocative promo for Let Somebody Go, directed by Dave Meyers.&nbsp;We see the artists in a distorted New York cityscape, surrounded by an environment&nbsp;that steadily&nbsp;contorts into a surrealist dreamworld.&nbsp;Building upon themes of loss and moving on, we see Martin and Gomez tread the same path in seemingly parallel worlds, coming together for a short moment in a freefall, before parting again at the resolution of the video.&nbsp;The distinctive black and white style achieves a balance of French New Wave-era aesthetics and a dizzying display of visual effects prowess, resulting in a visual that is powerful and timeless.&nbsp;

Ed Sheeran and Dave Meyers collaborate once again to take us into a cartoonish world of all-out action. And this time for Shivers, it is back to the more&nbsp;benign, boy-next-door, version of Ed than the barely recognisable version&nbsp;in the devilish Bad Habits.Ed's out to get a special girl - who gets to show just how special she is.&nbsp;

Dave Meyers directs an emotional and pertinent&nbsp;visual for Anderson Paak's Lockdown.Reflecting on racial injustice, police brutality and the global pandemic, the video is an introspective exploration of how society has reached its tipping point, and a call for systematic change.&nbsp;Featuring cameos from&nbsp;Dominic Fike,&nbsp;Andra Day, Jay Rock, Syd of the Internet and .Paak's son Soul Rasheed, amongst others,&nbsp;Lockdown is made up of several performance vignettes, stylised in a subtle way with offbeat angles and composition, but pared down from some of Meyers' more fantastical work. The intimate performances are the focus here, and the video ensures&nbsp;the issues at hand remain centre-stage.&nbsp;The animation at the end of the video, detailing the names of those killed through police brutality, is a striking wake up call: "The People Are Rising". All cast and crew salaries were donated to Beam, Dream Defenders and Color Of Change.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rita Ora learns how to look after herself&nbsp;in a series of vibrant vignettes, in Dave Meyer's blockbuster&nbsp;visual for How To Be Lonely.&nbsp;A master of fun set pieces, Meyers places Ora in a variety of unusual scenarios: walking across an entire room of eggs;&nbsp;making out with a skeleton;&nbsp;shooting a laser gun with a badass alien at her side... and that's just the start of it.Echoing back to Meyers' iconic work with Pink&nbsp;-&nbsp;where each of their collaborations saw the artist play several different characters on screen - this visual allows Ora to show off her multifaceted skillset to great effect.&nbsp;This video will make you laugh, gag and feel itchy... you have to watch it to understand... but it's a genuinely fun and high-energy concept that is a ray of light in the world right now.

Camila Cabello fights her way out of the studio system in Dave Meyers' rollicking comic history of Hollywood's Golden Age for My Oh My.Opening on the set of a 30s-style gangster film, Cabello plays the damsel in distress one times too many, and flips out when the director calls cut before she gets a chance to show her violent side. Begging with a bunch of suits back at the studio, she takes her career into her own hands when they deny her a role as an action movie heroine.&nbsp;The black and white visual is soaked in the glamour and nostalgia of old Hollywood, paying homage to the time period through everything from high contrast lighting to the Art Deco-inspired set dressing. And the introduction of Dababy keeps the story powering forward, offering Camila a way out of her predicament.DoP Scott Cunningham utilises whip pans and rapid camera movement to keep up the pace and intensity, and the art direction takes us through the decades, building to an explosive climax - in Cinemascope and Technicolor -&nbsp;when Cabello finally gets her way, echoing&nbsp;Kill Bill&nbsp;and other badass female action films&nbsp;we take for granted in contemporary cinema.&nbsp;With plenty of his offbeat humour on-screen, Meyers also appears in a rare cameo as a scriptwriter, rounding off a brilliant cast of no-nonsense, greedy business-types. Cabello is brilliant as always, diving headfirst into the multifaceted role and making the whole thing believable. Magical work from an ambitious creative team.&nbsp;

The mythology of an imaginary island and its folklore is&nbsp;explored in Harry Styles' epic video for Adore You, directed by Dave Meyers."In all the seas, in all the world, there has never been a land quite like the isle of Eroda. Shaped unmistakably like a frown, it is home to an all but forgotten fishing village that has had perpetual cloud cover for as long as anyone can remember."The inhabitants of Eroda aren't happy people. The gloomy depression causes&nbsp;people to have a permanent "resting fish face", and are fiercely superstitious, wary about anything that threatens their lives or mindsets.&nbsp;Into this inhospitable setting comes a boy born&nbsp;&nbsp;with a dangerously bright smile, who inadvertently causes havoc whenever he opens his mouth.&nbsp;Styles takes on the role of the boy, who befriends a fish and takes care of it through an escalating number of crazy situations. As he wrestles with his own emotions and the impatient inhabitants of Eroda, will he get a happy ending?It's a hugely ambitious and beautifully executed video, where the attention to detail to styling, wardrobe and production design - and dozens of VFX shots -&nbsp;help to bring the imaginary world to life.&nbsp;Meyers brings what has become his trademark brandof humour in his 'second coming' as a music video director. He is never afraid to explore the absurd whilst still keeping it grounded and emotionally affecting. Great stuff.

Travis Scott, he of the diamond teeth, takes a surreal trip through a dark, chaotic world in his latest collaboration with Dave Meyers.It's a classic execution by Meyers of the ideas presented by Scott for Highest In The Room.&nbsp;Figments of Travis's&nbsp;imagination flit in and out, whether he has his head in the clouds, is taken hostage and tortured, is at a strip club or is precariously walking a steel beam on an unfinished skyscraper.

It's homage galore in the new video for Antisocial, directed by Dave Meyers, and if you've ever wanted to see Ed Sheeran in Day of the Dead makeup, your dreams have just come true.Shot in a series of short, self-contained vignettes, there are references to Pulp Fiction, Edward Scissorhands, The Mask,&nbsp;and even Björk's Army Of Me -&nbsp;featuring a very Gondry-esque dentist scene. And somehow it all works together.The video is completely batshit crazy, and most importantly, unforgettable. There are very few artists who could be this comfortable and confident being so goofy, and Meyers does an outstanding job with Sheeran and Scott, never letting either of them lose whichever quirky character they are playing.&nbsp;

Mendes and Cabello, lost souls in a hot city,&nbsp;have a short-lived romance in this sun-soaked vignette by Dave Meyers, his latest collab with Camila.This style of sexually-charged crossover is so well worn, it almost qualifies as a genre. See SparkNotes on Madonna, Drake, Xtina and Rihanna. But watching this video, which is by no means provocative, it may occur to you how safe previous incarnations of this genre have tended to be. Despite being billed (and widely misremembered) as sizzling, risqué videos, they now seem incredibly coy about their subject. Namely, sex. Strong eye contact does not a romance make.In Señorita, Cabello sings about going “back to the hotel”, and then she and Mendes do just that. They have a one-night stand, and are confused about the encounter afterwards. Which feels oddly refreshing. Thanks to their chemistry, and a commitment to the subject of their song, the video sets a new bar for its form.

It&#39;s a record breaker! Taylor Swift&#39;s return with the uplifting ME! notched the highest number of views on the first day of it&#39;s release, with an extraordinary 65 million views in its first 24 hours on YouTube/VEVO. That&#39;s outstripped Ariana Grande&#39;s first day figure of 59 million for thank you, next...&nbsp;And the video? A curious combination of candy-coloured Hollywood musical pastiche and state of the art VFX, with Taylor accompanied by Brandon Urie of Panic! At The Disco as duet partner rather than supporting role.Swift&nbsp;is also down as co-director of this with Dave Meyers, and of course, it comes&nbsp;with numerous,&nbsp;teasing &#39;Easter Egg&#39; puzzles that have become Swift&#39;s trademark, particularly since Look What You Made Me Do launched the campaign for her Reputation album. That&#39;s presumably&nbsp;one reason for the high viewing numbers as millions of Taylor fans scan the video repeatedly to figure out what the new album is called... &nbsp;

Dave Meyer&#39;s creates&nbsp;the Gospel of Travis Scott in his video for the rapper&#39;s new track Stop Trying To Be God.Combining outlandish VFX&nbsp;and various explicitly biblical visual concepts,&nbsp;Meyers creates a brilliantly executed performance piece that while arguably blasphemous and calculatingly crude, appears to underline&nbsp;the iconography and worship surrounding modern-day celebrities.&nbsp;An idea reinforced by the brief cameo made by Scott&#39;s partner, Kylie Jenner, who appears as a glowing, Madonna-ish figure.&nbsp;

Justin Timberlake aims to squarely plug into the zeitgeist with Dave Meyers&#39; blockbuster for Supplies, with references to&nbsp;#MeToo, Weinstein, Spacey and Trump, as JT surveys a bank of screens, before embarking on a series of big, visually arresting, increasingly dystopian&nbsp;scenarios involving Timberlake and his love interest, played by Eliza Gonzalez (Baby Driver).&nbsp;And if the message is coming out a bit confused, or even like JT is trying to have his cake and eating it,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stereogum.com/1979914/dylan-farrow-calls-out-justin-timberlake-for-hypocrisy/wheres-the-beef/" target="_blank">the internet will explain everything</a>. Otherwise just enjoy the spectacle. And as the track is a collaboration between JT and Pharrell (who briefly appears) it is distinctly hummable.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
