Guy Tyzack is a Victorian short film & music video director. With a hard
focus on character driven stories and an acute awareness of his
inspirations and limitations, Guy has quickly become the go to man for
music videos in Melbourne - with recent productions with the Murlocs,
Hideous Sun Demons, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
Guys fascination with character was developed early in his love for the
Mighty Boosh, since then he has always loved the humour in outliers and odd
things.
After studying in VCA and creating several short films, Melbourne band
Gonzo reached out for help in creating a music video - Guy quickly learnt
that these odd character driven studies with loose plot structures leant
perfectly to his interests. Since then Guy has been working with a
collection of top shelf Melbourne band with plans to continue.
Guy talks about learning to thrive in a stress induced environment and how
to find magic within those limitations, calling back to a Lars von Trier
film “The Five Obstructions” he viewed several years ago. It’s clear that
Guy is an incredibly thoughtful and reflective creator, aware of his
influences but able to critique bad habits he had previously adopted from
them (re:storyboards are for cowards).
It’s an exciting time for Guy as it feels like he is only starting to
really flesh out this space in Melbourne - we can’t wait to follow along
for the ride.
