YouTube's a funny place because so many creators fall into their aesthetics out of necessity and the visuals are driven out of an urge to create. You get a lot of interesting examples of interesting design choices that have roots in practicality as well as an artistic sentiment.

Freddie Wong

I have been fully involved in designing my stage shows; it's important to me to do something really unique and almost off-the-wall to bring the music and the visuals together. I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn't so much 'pressure' for me; it's a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.

Afrojack

Music Love Design

Even if it's a song I know isn't gonna do that well, I'm dropping it as a piece of art, so I always want sick visuals to go with it.

AJ Tracey

Art Wit Well

I think songs and visuals are so evocative of each other.

Aleksa Palladino

Visuals Visual Think

I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances; now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.

Alfonso Cuaron

Trust Would Wit

Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.

Alva Noto

Time Alone Age

It is so beautiful that when you watch the film, the marriage between the visuals, the music and the storytelling is seamless.

Amit Trivedi

Music Marriage Age

The visuals are equally as important as the music. It's all a complete experience.

Andra Day

Music Experience Visuals

My visuals are typically very powerful. The rhythm is fast. The cuts are fast.

Andrew Lau

Power Visuals Visual

I don't want to be entertained. I don't want visuals or musicals. I don't want a vacation. I don't want to quit. I don't want sympathy. The cry of my heart is 'Just Give Me Jesus.'

Anne Graham Lotz

Sympathy Music Art

When you make a movie, you know you're making a long-form thing, so the visuals are different than for a video where it has to be more obvious or in your face, I think, a little bit.

Anton Corbijn

Your You Where

I'm sort of like Jean-Paul Goude, the graphic designer who used to style Grace Jones and shoot all her visuals, just meaning that I use all mediums in one - music, fashion, and art. I'm hitting it from all angles.

ASAP Ferg

Music Design Art

A lot of rappers been putting out a lot of sub-par visuals. I feel like the visuals could be better.

ASAP Ferg

My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.

Asif Kapadia

Age Ways Way

As much as I love creating entertaining visuals, I love toying with the pace of a movie and trying to perfect that. It's imperative to the impact: faster cuts, cuts at the right moments that meld with the tenor of a scene. Creating and maintaining that feeling.

Asif Kapadia

Mom Men Love

I just like pictures and visuals and stuff.

Bazzi

Visuals Visual Us

I want everything to build and create a massive artwork composed of different songs, colors, physical art and visuals.

Benee

Work Art Want

'Zabriskie Point' was a time when I was in a lot of change and flux, and these incredible visuals hit me like they had rearranged the organs in my body. The ending and the free-floating debris and everything is an image that burned itself in my consciousness.

Bill Pullman

Time Change Age

I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora's 'Runaway' music video. Something inside me clicked, like, 'That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.'

Billie Eilish

Music Whether Where

A film only works when its content works. The visuals can be breathtaking, but if the content is not good, it won't work.

Bobby Deol

Work Good Works

I think comics is a really good way to talk about skepticism and atheism and things like that... it was easy to tell those stories and, I think, helpful to some people to tell them in comic form. Using visuals makes it easier to break stuff down and makes it somewhat easier to understand.

Box Brown

Good Way Visuals

You put books out into the world, and people form their own visuals and images and attachments to characters; those characters become part of them, and they have their feelings about them.

Cassandra Clare

In the same way that musicians inspire me, artists and photographers like David LaChapelle influence me with their visuals. A photographer like LaChapelle creates an entirely new and unique visual for their work, and that's what I'd like to do with the Charli XCX world as well.

Charli XCX

I was obsessed with David Bowie - still am. He's a babe, a total babe. His music is killer; his visuals are beautiful.

Charlotte Sullivan

The best simulator for spacewalking is underwater - it allows full visuals and body movement in 3D. Virtual reality is good, too, and has some advantages, like full Station simulation, not just part. Like all simulators, they have parts that are wrong and misleading: an important thing to remember when preparing for reality.

Chris Hadfield

In my head, scenes are shot from certain angles; there are camera pans, all of that kind of stuff. Converting those visuals to comic format was mostly a matter of adapting them to the rhythm of paneling.

Chris Wooding

I generally wear a lot of black clothes, and I think that comes from wanting to be as neutral as possible. We use a lot of visuals on stage, so I kind of hope people are watching those and not looking at me.

Dan Smith

I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination.

Daphne Zuniga

The thing is, the better the hardware, the more time we spend to improve the visuals to take advantage of the hardware.

David Cage

Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.

David Chase

Over the years, advertising had become very lazy, very visual. Visuals are important, yes, but as a part of the story.

David Droga

Visuals are compelling, but sometimes the only way to get your point of view and purpose across is through words. Great copy can be embedded in any medium, any technology.

David Droga

I just want to be a storyteller, and I think the way to do that is by your lyrics, by your visuals, by your choreography, by your dance. It's imperative as an artist.

Dawn Richard

I do this sort of thing where, even for my own shows, I like to supply my own fingerprint of creativity. Not just ideas, technical things: offering model data, creating visuals for my stage show myself, babysitting renders, learning that technology as I go. That's what makes me feel like an artist.

Deadmau5

Telling stories with visuals is an ancient art. We've been drawing pictures on cave walls for centuries. It's like what they say about the perfect picture book. The art and the text stand alone, but together, they create something even better. Kids who need to can grab onto those graphic elements and find their way into the story.

Deborah Wiles

Music, for me, is as important as fashion. The first visuals I remember are Elvis Presley, David Bowie, New Romantics, and different punk bands.

Edward Enninful

I'm a very visually motivated person. Music is always going to be the thing I'm most motivated by, but music and visuals go hand in hand.

Eliza Doolittle

I view myself as a musician and I focus on music - other people may try to focus on the music, but the emphasis is heavily on visuals and performance. They're both equally valid, but different.

Eric Nam

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.

Eva Green

YouTube's a funny place because so many creators fall into their aesthetics out of necessity and the visuals are driven out of an urge to create. You get a lot of interesting examples of interesting design choices that have roots in practicality as well as an artistic sentiment.

Freddie Wong

Even though I love Hindi films, I don't remember any backdrop visuals that are really striking.

Gautham Menon

Comics are such a powerful educational tool. Simply put, there are certain kinds of information that are best communicated through sequential visuals.

Gene Luen Yang

For me, I'm not a great wordsmith, and so maybe from lack of great dialogue writing, I thought it's easier and better to express a story through visuals.

Genndy Tartakovsky

There are so many sitcoms, especially in animation, that we've almost forgotten what animation was about - movement and visuals.

Genndy Tartakovsky

When you think of a brand, you should immediately understand it from the advertising attitude, from the words and visuals.

George Lois

I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna - all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. 'Wrecking Ball' is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely.

Giorgio Moroder

The poetry and transgression that was so much of surrealism's anarchic force has been recruited into mainstream culture. It has been made commonplace by television and magazine merchandising, by computer games and Internet visuals, by film and MTV, by the fashion shoot.

Graham Joyce

Comics don't work without the visuals, obviously.

Greg Rucka

If there is going to be visuals for a song, I want them to be equally as good or better than the song.

Gus Dapperton

You have to realize I like doing big movies that appear on a big screen. So the visuals and the audio have to be of a certain quality before I start to get excited about the thing.

Hans Zimmer

I always liked the visuals to be choice and at the same time minimalist. And, I love black boxes. After all, that's what theatre is, it's an empty space, and it's both limited and unlimited because the space is the space, but what you can do with people's imaginations is really endless.
