Sophie Muller - Ellie Goulding Director

Sophie Muller is a British music video director, and is noted for her long-time collaborations with artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Shakira, Blur, Annie Lennox and of course, Ellie Goulding.

Gwen Stefani stated"Sophie Muller is one of my most talented friends. She can and will only do projects that she is inspired by. She is driven by creativity and the love for what she does and as a result she never compromises. She has a very pronounced style and taste that drew me in. I think she has the gift of being able to bring out the artist's personality, emotion and style. On the set her direction is humble and simple, but she knows what she wants and knows when she gets it. She has a way of making every cut have a reason and meaning. The videos have a life of their own and become better each time you watch them. I am always in shock the first time I see them and then after a few more times I am actually amazed."

This quote inspired me as I know how good the video 'Lights' by Ellie Goulding is and after reading that statement I understand the meaning of when she says "On set her direction is humble and simple" this is exactly how I would describe this particular video, I like the simplicity of her work and will try to create this type of feel when creating our music video.
