Many film directors started their careers in music videos, and gained big feature film jobs thanks to their creative ideas within artist videos.
David Fincher - directed Madonna's Vogue and Express Yourself, alongside George Michael's Freedom '90. This then launched him to fame, and he has directed films including Se7en (1995), Zodiac (2007), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008).
Michael Bay - having directed Faith Hill's There You'll Be and Divinyl's I Touch Myself, Bay has gone on to become the director of films such as Bad Boys (1996), Armageddon (1998), Coyote Ugly (2000), Pearl Harbour (2001), and Transformers (2007).
Mark Romanek - Romanek actually went the other way, and having directed One Hour Photo (2002), he directed Scream, by Michael & Janet Jackson, Johnny Cash's Hurt, 99 Problems by Jay-Z, and Coldplay's Speed of Sound.
Other notable directors include Jonas Akerlund (Christina Aguilera - Beautiful; Madonna - Ray of Light; Pink - Sober; Lady GaGa - Telephone), Brett Ratner (Mariah Carey - I Still Believe, We Belong Together and Touch My Body; Jessica Simpson - These Boots Are Made For Walkin') and Joseph Khan (Britney Spears - Stronger; U2 - Elevation; Muse - Knights of Cydonia; Kylie Minogue - All The Lovers)
