The Art of Music Videos

Join us for a virtual conversation with Warren Fu, the acclaimed director behind some of the most iconic music videos of the past two decades, including Laufey’s “Madwoman”, Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” The Weeknd’s “I Feel It Coming,” and Doja Cat and SZA’s “Kiss Me More.” From his early days as an art director at Lucasfilm designing characters for the Star Wars prequels to his long-running collaborations with artists like The Strokes, HAIM, and The 1975, Warren has helped shape the visual identity of modern music. We’ll explore his creative process, how he builds worlds around an artist’s sound, and how his work spans music videos, album art, and campaigns for brands like Spotify, Adidas, and PlayStation.
