A director of music videos, feature films and advertisments Mark Romanek's most famous music videos would have to be 'Hurt' by 'nine inch nails' for a Johnny Cash film, this is known for being a particularly moving video as Johnny Cash soon died after its production,'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails which was considered a controvercial and disturbing music video and 'Scream' by Micheal and Janet Jackson known for winning Romanek a grammy award and costing $7 million.
Romanek was born in Chicago Illinois, he attended New Trier East a public high school north of Chicago, where he studied a four year film production course, and was taught by significant film makers Kevin Dole and Peter Kingsbury. He then attended Ithaca College in New York where he earnt a degree in Cinema and Photography. After he worked with Brian De Palma, and writing a few screenplays, Romanek began focusing on directing music videos and was highly successful
Mark Romanek likes to include shots defying gravity, present in scream, cant stop, closer, and more. He also has a passion for light, which we can see in the following stills.This is somthing we are partcularly interested in, as we hope the lighing will be a key feature of our own music video. Therefore studying this Director would benefit us greatly.
