As far as 90s music video directors go, there are few names as synonymous with the form as Hype Williams. A true creative force, Williams was inspired by the bright colors and bold artistic visions of graphic artist & Marvel Comics legend Jack Kirby. This is evident enough in his work on videos for artists like Biggie & Busta Rhymes. Situations where he was able to make each star feel truly larger than the galaxy itself. But when it came to Missy Elliott, Williams knew that someone with her style and assertive flair demanded something a little more out of this world.
