Steve Barron

Music Video Director 26 videos the 80s to 90s

Steve Barron directed some of the most technically ambitious music videos of the early MTV era, particularly his rotoscoped pencil-sketch animation for a-ha's "Take On Me" in 1985. Earlier, he had worked with Michael Jackson on "Billie Jean" and created the computer-animated sequences for Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing." Barron maintained a strong relationship with a-ha across six videos and later moved into feature film directing.
