Between 1994–1996, I worked at Propaganda Films as a runner, researcher, PA, treatment writer, and everything else besides.

Propaganda, and its subsidiary Satellite, was home to some of the greatest music video directors of all time, Mark Romanek, Spike Jonze (just starting out), David Fincher, to name three. But it was Stéphane Sednaoui who had the biggest effect on me, and who encouraged me creatively.

Stéphane was completely instinctive. He came from photography, and you could feel it. His videos were essentially animated stills, the camera barely moving while everything inside the frame vibrated with life. He used colour, light, and the human body in ways no one else did: luminous paint, phosphorescent skin, strange frame rates, blur, creating images that wedged themselves in your brain.

And he was a total trip to be around. At the time, he dressed like a Hare Krishna and was dating Björk. I worked with him on numerous videos for Björk, Tricky, Traci Lords, U2, and more. I learned a huge amount just by being around him and loved every minute!
