Michel Gondry is probably one of my favorite directors, but I feel he is perhaps a bit unknown. He directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (probably his most mainstream work), but I think I like him best for the work he has done on music videos (which honestly put any MTV video award winner to shame). A personal favorite is "Star Guitar" by the Chemical Brothers. The premise is that someone is riding on a train looking outside through the window. With every repeating beat, there are different objects outside which roll past the window to their respective beats (there are many beats layered on top of each other hence multiple objects). The first video is the finished one, and I was able to find "the making of the video" as well (shown in the second video). If you like this, there are plenty more to come. (I do recommend getting his dvd though for quality of video purposes among other things).
