David Wilson, who just signed to tempomedia exclusively for the German market, is one of the most creative and versatile directors of music videos and commercials out there.

His curiosity and constant experimentation, his boyish fun and the playful madness in his creative process turn his work into fascinating films with multiple dimensions.

Here are five out of at least one thousand things we particularly love about David and his work.

1. Craft

Film has always been about storytelling. If you don’t master the craft of capturing the epicness of every little moment, you won’t touch your audience. David is one of those guys who can tell a story in the most epic way and be sensitive toward his characters at the same time. By understanding the power of lighting and cinematography he achieves a World Cup feeling combined with the intimacy of an opera.

2. Magic

The medium of film has always been an art form that has the ability to mesmerise the people. Just like the French pioneer Georges Méliès, one of the first wizards of early cinema, David has the ability to let magic happen on the screen. By combining styles and by developing his own techniques, every piece is a new 'Trip to the Moon‘ for the viewer.

3. Experimentation

Nobody understands the power of experimentation better then David. His creative approach is all about experimenting. On every project he is trying to challenge himself (or as he says: "scare himself"') as much as possible, always searching for the most mesmerising style for a commercial or music video. He easily combines bold and cinematic live action with stop motion, illustration, in-camera VFX effects and animation.

4. Humour

His special sense of humour is one of a kind. Not only that he is a very funny person himself. He is the master of satirical storytelling. Taking things seriously by not taking them seriously might be a description that fits. But then again it’s all about the crazy fun you have imagining a mad universe all by yourself. It shows and it will make you laugh!

5. Music

We rarely experience a filmmaker who understands musical universes as David does. He’s just bubbling over with creativity when it comes to creating promos. None of his music videos resemble one another. He understands how to catch the dimensions of an artist and the song and turns it into fantastic little movies.
