Over time, I've built up a list of director's work I've admired. And for this project I've sent them all questionnaires to find out more about their roles, and so far I've received some really good feedback.
These directors do a lot of commercial, short documentary and music videos. Most with backgrounds in photography, and cinematography.
One of my favourite directors I've admired for a few years creates nearly all of Ben Howard's videos, Mickey Smith. He has a background in photography, in particular surf photography. So he has an amazing eye for visuals, finding beauty in the changes in nature and seeing lines. I can definitely say he's inspired a lot of my own work.
A cameraman and director who works with Mickey is called Allan Wilson, who is equally talented in his work. Mickey, along with Allan, are known under Astray. http://www.theastray.com/main.html

In terms of other music videos, the work that inspires me comes from Daniels, Brewer, and Sam Brown.

This is behind the scenes of a music video for Two Door Cinema Club with Brewer, they've kindly replied to my emails.
A documentary director who creates amazing shorts, and made Oxyana. Sean Dunne, his style and approach to stories just draws you in. I love how it's very organic, simple, and tells the story of the person without voiceover but through the weaving of the interviews with the people and the sequences filmed with them to show us who they are.
