[willanimation]

Is this part of praise you video? or did he do this separately? This is just a remash of that to another song.... fail!

[freshflower4]

No. He made this one first and sent it to Fatboy Slim as an example- who then decided to do the Rockafeller Skank one.

[pickleshaw]

the praise you one u mean

[freshflower4]

Yah. That's what I meant.

[misterioso929]

[akanathan]

He is the MAN

[bigshotscc]

MASTER!!!

[earthalien77]

Looks like fun!

[rtmiyake2]

Spike has one of the most impressive artistic/entertainment careers around. masterful music video director, filmmaker (short and full length), actor (he was fantastic in Three Kings), comedian (see: Jackass Number Two), and, of course, DANCER. not to mention a good skateboarder, bmxer, and he makes great videos of pros of those sports.

the visual world is very fortunate to have him, i think everything he touches turns to gold. cant thank him enough for giving us all of his work.

[STARKY07]

u forgot co-owner to girl skateboards, lakai, and crailtap!

[freshflower4]

Spike Jonze is hysterical. I wonder what his real moves are.

[senatorzach]

His features are Being John Malkcovich, Adaptation and he just finished up Where the wild things are.....its gonna be amazing.

[freshflower4]

I said I wonder what his real moves are - meaning his real dance moves. Not Richard Koufey's. I know about his films. And also super pumped for Where The Wild Things Are.

[samantonio]

dude...

DUDE...

spike jonze is AWESOME!!!!

[ffflllmmmm]

KKKKKKKKKK ROCK ROCK! I like that!

[MrLesWhite]

that kid has moves!!

[Nextdirector123]

Spike Jonze dang how did he get his start

[freshflower4]

I think it was in skateboarding videos. Then music videos

[geord337]

Actually Fatboy Slim wanted Jonze to direct the Rockafeller Skank but Jonze was unable to as he had other work, and this was his gift to him to make it up to Slim, who loved it so much he had Jonze implement the idea for Praise You. Perhaps you should check your facts before telling others to do the same and then giving inaccurate information. <3

[ahasver07]

perhaps i should ;) i based my answer on the info on dvd and maybe remembered it vaguely. (actually i know how this info got to me exactly but nevermind)

the process - fatboy slim didn't know about this video at all, spike sent it to him and he wanted him to do that for real, is accurate so the respond is as well... imho

(btw - isn't there really a place where fatboy asks who is this guy and says i don't care about some spike jonze just deliver that freak? this is serious question)

[ahasver07]

wikipedia: Spike Jonze, unable to work with Fatboy Slim on the video for "The Rockafeller Skank", recorded and set his own solo dance video to "Skank" as a gift; Jonze's 'alternate' music video was so well-received by Slim that Jonze's fictional Torrance Community Dance Group were green-lighted for "Praise You's" official video

[garyopenshaw2004]

lol

[SonOfADeathBed]

yeah, there already was a Skank video, so Slim asked him to do the Praise You video.

[tyler1257]

you two people might be the gayest fags on earth ahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha­hahahahaahahahahahahahahaahaha­hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaa­hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahah­ahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahah­ahahahaa

[mistressdanger722]

Sweet moves yo!

[itrabos]

YOU RULE!

[ygmondoux]

I think Norman Cook was holding the Camcoder... not sure.

[ahasver07]

he wasn't. just get some info before commenting ;) spike jonze used this video to introduce himself to norman cook when he wanted to start a collaboration with him (as he shortly after shooting this did - on praise you)

[jojjoPK1]

@ygmondoux nope it was lance accord

[SaintRussell1914]

Sometime before the Praise You video. Probably about 1998.

[secondperspective]

Spike is my #1 hero! BRILLIANT

[bulimiacouture]

When was this filmed?
