Chris Cunningham

Chris Cunningham is a film maker and director for music artist such as Bjork; he is famous for his unique creativity and obscurity, his love for extra-terrestrial looking characters. ‘Come to daddy’ is a film created by Cunningham, in this short film is looks as if a figure in the TV has brainwashed young children, corrupting their lifestyle and ruining their faces. The children’s faces in the video are blurred, the look as if they don’t have eyes, their noses are deformed (along with their bodies.). https://youtu.be/Pe-XNav5mWU

I wonder why Cunningham likes to create these weird characters for video or how people take inspiration from his videos. Whilst doing some research I found a video that may have inspired Cunningham’s obscure creative mind-set (or the other way around, may of inspired Huang’s film work). This is a film by a film artist called Andy Huang. This video has had a lot of editing and graphical work done to it, to make it look the way it does. In the film, you can see a mechanical head that’s looks like a dolls face, in a box, looking at a screen. This gives me the idea that this film was created to show a mechanical society? Made up of materialistic things, that we are all robots in society. https://youtu.be/evpGu3eO0pY

Cunningham’s films are created with a cheap budget, making him more of an artist for people to love as his work doesn’t need money to become something that is known in the world of media, art and music.
