Inspiring Music Video Directors:

1) Spike Jonze: 

Director, producer, writer and actor, Jonze has worked with music videos, commercial, film and television. He is well known also for his music video collaborations with Weezer, Beastie Boys, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and Bjork (just to name a few). He was also a co-creator and executive producer of MTV's Jackass.

He even directed the official music video for my chosen song: 'Praise You' by Fatboy Slim.

2) Tom Scharpling:

American radio host, comedian, television writer, producer and music video director.
Starting in August 2010, Scharpling has directed a number of music videos, typically for groups that he is friends with, and almost always on an extremely limited budget. The shorts usually contain a number of celebrity cameos.

This i thought was a hilarious video by director 'Scharpling'. I really love the narrative, i thought it was very creative.
