You're just sitting there with your camera. You've already paid off the Japanese Mob so you could shoot where you wanted. But now, you've got to move to Shibuya, the busiest fucking district in Tokyo. You get there and Mariah gets out of the car and it's chaos. You remember two girls in particular.
They weren't expecting Mariah Carey to get out of a car and it was as if Godzilla himself had walked out, and suddenly they're screaming. Everybody's screaming.
Then everybody starts charging. And the shoot lasts exactly 10 minutes and you get die footage. You always get the footage. Moby likes to work with you.
You helped make him huge with the video for "We Are All Made of Stars", the one with Gary Coleman and Kato Kaelin and the porn stars. Moby had other ideas for the video, ideas that didn't involve him walking around Hollywood in an astronaut suit, but you didn't listen. "He does whatever he likes to do, and that usually works really well," Moby says about you. |

"His instincts are really good. His ideas are really good. You basically put your career in his hands and he doesn't letyou down." But you feel intimidated by people. The people who intimidate you most are not the Mobys and George Michaels and Aerosmiths of the world. You've worked with them no problem.
It's other directors. When you were shooting the Dido video, David Fincher was next door shooting a Nike commercial. People were saying, "Just go up to him and say hello." But you couldn't. The other time that happened was with Steven Spielberg. You went to Dreamworks to talk to Jeffrey Katzenberg about an Elton John video and as you were walking out, Spielberg walked by and you didn't even say hello. Your hands were all sweaty.
You still haven't forgiven yourself. YOUR HEAD IS "FUCKING ABNORMALLY HUGE". That's how you describe it. |
