Paul Hunter is a specialist music video director from California. Hunter began his career working on sets and filming commercials. Hunter attended California State Northridge University to study film, which elevated his ideas.With his particularly active imagination with regards to narratives in his movies, Hunter has been regarded in an elite group of Director's, for his work within the music industry.
His style has enabled him to work with Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, P.Diddy, Mariah Cary and Micheal Jackson. Hunter's progression in his Music video career enabled him to progress into feature films. In 2002, he started Directing his first ever feature film 'Bulletproof Monk'.
Perhaps his most acclaimed work came in the form of his Nike Jordan advert. Here he merged aspects of Music video into the rhythmic sounds of basketball players. This advert was nominated for an Emmy. Hunter was given the honour of creating Michael Jackson's comeback single in 2001 'You Rock My World', and further Directed the multiple award-winning 'Divas' music video of the 'Mouling Rouge' film. Hunter's work is so fascinating to me due to the way in which he envisions movements to fit with sounds, and how he can see that movements can create sounds to accompany the video.
