6: Music video director

                                                    Melina Matsoukas


Matsoukas, both her name and surname are Greek. She is a graduate of the American Film Institute (MFA in cinematography) New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Her graduate thesis there was on music videos.
Matsoukas started out at Black Dog Film, then the now-defunct Gorilla Flix film production company, and is currently a director at Prettybird, which she has been signed to since 2011.
Her work is described as, "chalk full of bright colors or crisp black and white images, smooth spotlights, and tasteful retro video models. Matsoukas says that expensive equipment is not necessary for a quality video and one should never think that way: "A good video has the right visuals, a well conceptualised story and should be exciting and elicit reaction.

I really like her work, she isn't like the other director's, she looks for something different and i really like that.
She woks with artits like:
Lil Wayne
Beyonce
Rihanna
Katy Perry
Cristina Aguilera
Lilly Allen
and  alot more...

But the music video that made me interested in this girl was We found love by Rihanna and Calvin Harris.
