Warren Fu is an American music

video director, illustrator and

designer.

He has directed promos for Daft

Punk, The Weeknd, Snoop Dogg,
Pharell Williams, The Stroke, HAIM,
The Killers and many others.

We have chosen to look at Warren

Fu because he had directed music
videos for bands of our chosen
genre (Indie Rock) in the past. For
example The Killers and The
Strokes.
 After directing a TV
commercial, based on the
album cover he designed, for
the late r&b/hip-hop artist
Aaliyah, Warren worked with
The Strokes Julian
Casablancas as the creative
director for Julians solo
album.
Warren managed all things
visual from beginning to end
of the promotional
campaign, including sleeve
art, merchandise, print ads
and music videos.
Fu said Strokes caught my
ear, because their sound
reminded of some of the
best music from the past,
but modernised.
 Even though The Strokes had
already hired a director for the
music video, they got funding for
Warren to direct the alternate
version.
As it turns out, we (Fu and the
person he was working with at the
time) have very similar
sensibilities. Favourite colour
combinations, favourite car, etc. It
has made for a great collaborative
relationship.
