Director - DANIELS

The DANIELS directing duo are made up of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. They work together to create innovative music videos, one of their more famous videos being Don't Stop (Color on the walls) and Houdini by Foster The People, which are actually some of their more subdued videos.




They frequently work in the indie genre creating groundbreaking videos which are often based around hypnotic themes which give a psychedelic feel to the videos. In the video for Pigeons by The Hundred In The Hands, the use of editing and camera work help to make you feel like you are experiencing what the character is feeling by giving off a disorienting feel.



This is typical of their work, much like the video for Underwear by FM Belfast which again uses editing as a key feature in keeping the attention of the viewer.



Most of their videos use the idea of synesthesia to help carry the video, for example in the video for Cry Like A Ghost by Passion Pit the flow of the video is purely dictated of the movements of the character and camera which are controlled by the sounds of the song.


They often are seen to appear in their own videos, for example here they are shown in Houdini by Foster the People.
