Lance has shot most of Spike´s music videos and feature films.
His work in Where The Wild Things Are is very nice.
In this clip he talks about how he got into filming, techniques, how they stayed away from computer generated shots for Where The Wild Things Are etc.. good stuff.

Three famous people to bring with you to a deserted island for a week?
I just responded to this scenario on a friends Facebook wall and I´d like to know who you guys would choose, and maybe with a short description why.
Well over 1,000 people read what I type here every weekend, so I´m expecting at least 10 people to make comments. That´s less than 1%.
Without too much thought I came up with:
Fredrik Härén.
He´s a very good public speaker and has single handedly changed how I view the industrialized western world more than anyone else. After hearing him the first time a few years ago I felt empty for days. It was the trippiest / greatest feeling.
I know for a fact if he would have spoken to me (at a school or on tv / radio) when I was in high school my life would have turned out differently, which it still might...
You can read about Fredrik´s project "The Idea Book" here:

Here are some Youtube links on what I´m talking about. Sorry, only in Swedish. But I´m almost compelled to translate the clips with English subtitles. He´s that good.
Part 1 here.
Part 2 here.
Part 3 here.
If you´ve missed his radio show from Swedish "Sommarpratare" in 2008, here it is:

Spike Jonze.
For those who know me this comes as no surprise.
To describe who he is and what he does / has done is overwhelming. Basically the best creative person within music videos, skateboard videos and other creative visual media.
This short clip only touches on his talent:
Stacy Peralta:
He was a very talented skater in the 70´s and was part of the Dogtown & Z-Boys.
He also founded and did great things within the skateboard world with Powell Peralta in the 80´s and 90´s.
He´s also a filmmaker. His four biggest releases are Dogtown & Z-Boyz, Lords Of Dogtown (writer), Riding Giants and Made In America.
But it´s through the legendary Powell Peralta skatevideos I´ve seen his work the most. I´ve spent probably over a thousand hours watching them in the 90´s.
I was considering President Obama as well. Hmm, maybe Leif GW Persson (Swedish know it all guy) ..?
Dalai Lama...?
Or maybe George W Bush, Bin Laden and Kim Jong-Il and leave them there...?
Who are your three?
