Music Video Director... Tim Mattia

Tim Mattia is a music video director who has been the head of many large and small music videos such as Trampoline-Tinie Tempah ft. 2 Chainz, Hey Cruel World- Marilyn Manson and also for Robbers- The 1975. I decided to research in to Mattia due to his work for the song "Robbers" by The 1975 which I have also researched as my favourite music video. He is also well known for his photography that he uses whilst shooting some music videos which I think look really cool and have the same kind of feel throughout them all, for example the use of keeping the pictures in Black and White.































His work has been seen on many different TV stations including MTV, MTV2, THE BOX, VH1, 4MUSIC, NMETV, THE HITS, KERRANG TV, Q MUSIC, CHANNEL 4 AND ROCKSOUND TV. As well as this, his work has also featured in print media such as WALLPAPER, MARIE CLAIRE, NME, KERRANG, ARTROCKER, UNCUT, Q, ROCKSOUND, LOOK, THE HUFFINGTON POST, TIME, THE SUN, LOUDWIRE, REVOLVER, PEREZ HILTON, METAL HAMMER AND THE DAILY MAIL. By working with all of these well known publishers and companies shows how his work is well known and also well thought of due to the high demand for his services, he had even been quoted by website 'One Percent Jihad' to of " making “Robbers” look “We Found Love”-level unpleasant" which could be seen as a huge compliment for some due to Rihanna being much bigger and more well known around compared to The 1975.


I believe that Mattia is a great music video director who can work with pretty much any kind of genre of music without failure (As shown by the list of artists below). He has also inspired me for when I create my own music video by using different types of shots and styles that he has used in his own work.
