Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who directed the System Of A Down video for "Chop Suey"?

Answer: Marcos Seiga

Marcos Siega actually got System Of A Down fans to come in and be the crowd for the performance, as he also did with Papa Roach's video for "Last Resort". Marcos Siega has directed several wonderful videos, including Blink 182's "What's My Age Again" and "All The Small Things"; Weezer's "Island in the Sun", "Dope Nose", and "Keep Fishing"; TRUSTcompany's "Downfall"; Kelly Osbourne's debut video for "Papa Don't Preach", and Hoobastank's "Crawling in the Dark".
2. Who directed "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" for the White Stripes?

Answer: Michel Gondry

This video takes place in a house with most of the images projected onto the walls. He also directed their video for "Fell In Love With A Girl", which was made with nothing but Legos. Michel Gondry is a French music video and commerical director. He began directing videos while at a French art school, for the band Oui Oui.

His clips caught the attention of several local bands and jump started his career. In 1993 he met up with Bjork, and the rest is history. Their first video for "Human Behavior" won several awards and thrust him into the spotlight. Along with Bjork and The White Stripes, he has directed videos for Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Beck, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk.
3. True or False: David Fincher directed videos for both Coldplay and Jimmy Eat World.

Answer: False

False, he did not. He did direct both "Fight Club" and "Seven", which both, interestingly enough, star Brad Pitt. David Fincher has been directing since he was 8 years old. At the age of 18, he went to work at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), in which he worked on "Return of the Jedi" (1983) and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984). An unhappy experience directing "Alien" in 1992 led him to direct music videos for a while.

However, in 1995 he got the script for "Seven" that really launched his movie directing. Since then, he has directed "The Game", "Fight Club" and "Panic Room".
4. Who directed videos for both Green Day and Moby?

Answer: Roman Coppola

Roman Coppola attended NYU film school. He directed the special effects and second unit on Bram Stoker's "Dracula". He also directed second unit on "Jack", "The Rainmaker", and "The Virgin Suicides" (which was his sister, Sofia Coppola's, directorial debut).

He directed "Walking Contradiction" for Green Day, which features the band walking around with near-death experiences happening to them every few seconds. The video was Grammy nominated. In 1996 he developed a commercial and music video production company called The Director's Bureau, where he has directed commercials for Levi's, Coca-Cola, and Adidas.
5. Who directed several videos for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, including "By The Way"?

Answer: Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris

Throughout years of doing nothing but working together, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris began dating and eventually married. They also start relationships with the bands they direct for, by directing several videos for each band. For the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they have directed "Otherside", "Californication", and "By The Way". "By The Way" and "Otherside" were both inspired by films.

They have also directed several videos for the Smashing Pumpkins.
