10 Music Videos That Were Actually Made By Famous Directors

1. Marc Webb - I'm Not Okay (I Promise) (My Chemical Romance)

Marc Webb directed dozens of music videos before his feature film debut (500 Days Of Summer) for bands like Good Charlotte, AFI, Counting Crows, Puddle Of Mudd, Disturbed, Brand New and Green Day. One of Webb's most famous collaborations was with the band My Chemical Romance, known for their elaborate and theatrical videos. During their time active, Webb directed six of the band's music videos, including Helena, The Ghost Of You and Teenagers. He also directed the video for the song that catapulted the band into superstardom, I'm Not Okay (I Promise). The video is a mock film trailer that sees the band inhabit an American high school, depicting the trials they face and culminating in a violent showdown. The humour typically present in Webb's films is also present here, as the band tackle fluffy animal mascots and sucker punch each other in the face. Nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZTNgAs4Fc Which other famous filmmakers have directed music videos? Let us know in the comments below.
