Vincent Moon is a Parisian filmmaker, an innovative "videographer" and creator of "Take Away Shows," a video podcast stemmed from the French online music site "La Blogotheque" he co-founded. Over the last 2 years he has made over 200 videos with diverse musicians across the world, including many popular musicians like REM, Arcade Fire, and Andrew Bird. Vincent's style is a departure from the mainstream commercial format of a music video, and his use of lo-fi technology blurs the line between creator and audience, capturing the intimacy, spontaneity, and energy of the musicians in impromptu settings. This more natural approach allows the audience to focus on the beauty of improvisation. With each project, Vincent tries to figure out "how to push a band in another situation and see what happens." He is "amazed how little time we spend thinking about how people create compared to how people make money from creations." He has challenged the idea of what a music video should be and has influenced many young filmmakers to take his same approach.
In addition to filming music, Vincent's latest projects include filming his travels, and documenting them in the same style as the Take Away Shows. He hopes his videography will inspire people to explore the world as he does.
