Hype Williams
Harold "Hype" Williams is a music video director born in New York. He is known for his renowned work within the hip-hop/R&B genre and is often considered one of the most influential video directors of the last 20 years . Throughout his career he has worked on multiple video for particular artists such as Kanye West, R. Kelly, LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and more. Williams has established many distinguishable editing and shooting styles. A signature style used by Williams throughout the vast majority of his video is the Fisheye lens which distorted the camera view around the central focus. Another signature style involves placing shots in regular widescreen ratio, while a second shot is split and placed in the upper and lower bars. Since 2003, Williams has adopted a signature style combining a centre camera focus on the artist or actor's body from the torso upward and a solid colour background with a soft different-colour light being shown in the centre of the background, so as to give a sense of illumination of the background by the foreground subject.
