PROFILE: Devin Sarno, Warner Bros.

The people who oversee the music video production process for record labels are called "commissioners." Why the quotes? Because almost nobody actually has "commissioner" as their title and, more importantly, many of these folks are involved in a whole lot more than just making videos. Now that we've got that out of the way, meet Devin Sarno. He's a "commissioner" at Warner Bros, where he's steered through videos and helped plot the visual style for My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers and way too many more acts to name here.  

name: Devin Sarno
company: Warner Bros. Records
title/job: VP, Visual Content

First Video: I believe the first video I officially "commissioned" was Ziggy Marley "Kozmik" with Stephane Sednaoui, when I was at Virgin Records. Stephane ranks as perhaps the only director who has ever physically tackled me to the ground in a telecine session and bitten me (donning a skirt, mind you).

Stephane Sednaoui is French.

Strangest Video: Unfortunately there are quite a few that come to mind, but one in particular was with my dear friend Doug Aitken. He was directing a video for me at Sony/WORK Group. It was shot off the coast of the Catalina Islands and the main picture boat he was planning to use ended up sinking on the voyage over. Along those same lines, we almost drowned My Chemical Romance in the "Ghost of You" video. That boat also ended up taking in a huge amount of water during one shot and began sinking rapidly (watch the Making The Video). Of course, a few of the band members can't swim, so it was a lovely moment of tension.

What's Next: What's next is the video that plays when you shut your eyes and rub your lids as hard as possible.

NEW RELEASE: Muse "Invincible"

Now that the music business is scouring for the new revenue streams — ie: ring tones, increased licensing, video games, product placements, prostitution (yeah, yeah, I made a funny) — the day of the rock band carnival attraction may not be far away. In the meantime, we have this dazzling video which places Muse on a 3-D amusement park ride. Unlike the Walt Disney It's A Small World ride — with its idealistic, unrealistic images of harmony and peace — this journey is a descent into the nasty, brutish and increasingly destructive history of our world. So, make sure you fasten you seatbelts and keep your hands inside the car. It's a savage world, after all. --> watch "Invincible" in Quicktime or via  YouTube

NEW RELEASE: Nya Jade "Live"

I'm totally against child labor, even if it's a cushy desk job like the on the the young whippersnapper has in this video. While Nya Jade and her band perform this sunny and soulful tune on a street corner, we see the junior executive getting ready at home and then leisurely taking care of some business at the office. His comfortable existence takes a turn for the worse, however, when he gets laid off. Now, just in case you're worried he'll wind up in some factory making Starburys, there's a twist: Our star is really only young at heart. --> watch "Live"

NEW RELEASE: Macy Gray "Finally Made Me Happy"

Anybody who has heard almost anything from Macy Gray could have guessed that Prince is one of her strongest influences. But, just in case you've ever had any doubts it, this performance video makes her admiration absolutely clear. Purple is the predominant color, of course, while director Meiert Avis even recreates the classic bathtub scene from the "When Doves Cry" video. And in a further elucidation of her musical lineage: Fellow influence Natalie Cole makes a guest appearance on vocals, while Will.I.Am handles the piano duties. --> watch "Finally Made Me Happy"

NEW RELEASE: Ne-Yo "All Because Of You"

Ne-Yo continues to cement his status as the heir apparent to Usher, both in terms of his sound, style and a penchant for making love to the ladies in his videos. This refined clip focuses on the latter, showing the r&b star enjoying his "addiction" in the bathroom, the bedroom, the pool, etc. --> watch "All Because Of You"

NEW RELEASE: Melvins "The Talking Horse"

It's a sci-fi nightmare in this video for bizarro punk legends the Melvins. First, you got an oozy turkey that gives birth to some sort of alien. Then a series of objects — trees, newspaper boxes, buildings  — sprout faces and start mouthing the vocals.One man senses a kinship with the oddness, but he turns into a cake and gets eaten. Weird? You bet. --> watch "The Talking Horse"

NEW RELEASE: Holy War Dance Party

I've said it before, so I'll say it again: Fuck war, let's dance. "Holy War Dance Party" isn't a music video per se, but, as the saying goes, it's close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades. And in this case, it's all about hand grenades. Director Matt Eastman and producer/dance inventor Dave Lazar show how you can take the awfulness of life during wartime and reduce it to a silly little dance. They borrow a track from Ft. Worth, TX band Best Fwends and match it with an instructional video that teaches such moves as Take The Heat, Dodge The Bullets and Trade The Arms. In all honesty, it's really no less absurd than the war itself. --> watch "Holy War Dance Party"

NEW RELEASE: Red Hot Chili Peppers "Hump De Bump"

When you hear that Chris Rock is directing the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Hump De Bump" video, expectations can run high. So, the comedian's hardcore fans may be bummed to hear that the tone this video is much more on the nostalgic and sweet Everbody Hates Chris tip — it was actually shot on that show's set — than CB4 or Pootie Tang. Even though this isn't the social satire or music video spoof some might have preferred, the video for is a pretty perfect match to this lighthearted, good times funk workout. Rock makes bookend cameo appearances as a confused resident who can't get into his own block party where the Chili Peppers have the crowd moving and grooving along. --> watch "Hump De Bump" in Quicktime, Windows Media or via YouTube
