The talent of Spike Jonze, a self-made and self-acting senior



“Daniels” is reminiscent of Gondry in terms of his penchant for manual craftsmanship, but to me he is more reminiscent of Spike Jonze. The reason for this is his infectious sense of humor and his nimble footwork, which allows him to take part in performances on his own.


Spike Jonze is also active as an actor, appearing in ` `Three Kings '' (1999). He also appeared in the stupid MTV show ``Jackass,'' which he produced, and in the movie version, he played pranks on people passing by wearing special makeup as an old man.


Jones' performance skills were most evident in Fatboy Slim's MV "Praise You." The video, which cost just $800 to make, features the Torrance Community Dance Group gathering in front of a movie theater and performing an unusual amateur dance routine to a Fatboy Slim song. This was a completely unauthorized guerrilla photo shoot.

Spike Jonze himself is the leader of the Torrance Community Dance Group created for this video. Although he has almost no dancing skills, he is a fishy man who stirs up the members with a sense of style. I believe that Jones's off-the-wall style is directly connected to the charm and humor of the work, and it is a monumental work by a creator who has created and performed his own work.


The video won numerous awards at the MTV Video Awards, and even included the bonus of leading the fictional Torrance Community Dance Group in a dance performance at the awards ceremony.
