The name Spike Jonze makes me happy. The adopted name of Adam Spiegel. At 17, he started shooting skate photography which defined the look of skateboarding for a generation. Then he moved on to shooting skate films - the idea of following a skateboarder between tricks with a low angle fisheye lens, that look was largely defined by him. Adding in sketches and bits amongst the skating, also a uniquely Spike touch. From there, he moved to music videos and commercials then to feature films. But he never lost his roots as a let's just try and get away with it, punk rock kid. The energy he brings to the projects he works on is uniquely his. No one else is like Spike.
