Roel Wouters the next Gondry?

Roel Wouters AKA Xelor is a name to take note of if you work in the creatives. This Dutch graphics guru is after your job! There does'nt seem to be anything he cant do, and do well. Take his recent forray into music video direction for example. His work for My Robot Friend and ZZZ demonstrate that a simple well crafted video neednt be CGI heavy in order to appear futuristic. Both are inherently low-tech in their approach, but the end result does not scream DIY or low budget. In the world of music video production, some consider that the holy grail.


My Robot Friend - Robot High School




ZZZ - Grip


Who would have thought that you could make a video all about editing, that (A) would'nt bore you to death and (B) could be filmed entirely in one take without the use of a single edit!?!?!

I saw Roel Wouters at BUG! He was talking about his creations not without sense of pride and excitement and definitely not without great aura of charm and warmth… Aaahhh.. he is good, that Dutch man
