Since the 90s and 2000s the people who were good video directors were music video directors. We haven't had music videos or their directors in a while. That's why we haven't had a good movie in a while

Probably not, but there was a time where some of the video directors made good movies

FEEL FREE TO DISREGARD THIS POST

It is guaranteed to be lazy, ignorant, and/or uninformed.
Youtube and TikTok have replaced MTV but there are still music video directors. If anything there are probably more music video directors now than there were before.

I'm talking about when the director of a music video was given a huge Hollywood feature film. It used to happen all the time, but now there are no music videos

I'm a guy that got famous from pointing cameras at a band playing a song.

I'm so smart, I put one guy with a mobile camera that started a shot pointed at the drummer. It just seemed to make sense because the drums started just going for it at that point in the song.

They should let me be Martin Scorsese's DP and I'll VD the best movie about an Albanian gang that is stealing credit card numbers from customers who buy memberships at their gyms.

youtube isn't the same as MTV. 1.6 million once is not the same as 160,00 12 times a day

I looked up who directed this video and it was Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

But that's hte same as movies OP. They just try and make it look hard but you just drive around till you find some actors and then have someone give them a script and film them till they're done. the huge movie budget is just cos movie directors really like coccaine.

Edit: I mean look at this do you really think this is hard to make:
