Režisérska jednička: Little X

Little X patrí medzi najvychytenejších režisérov hudobných videoklipov. Do vizuálnej podoby spracoval hity od hviezd ako R.Kelly, Usher, Mystikal, Nelly... Až do súčasnosti má na konte vyše stovky takýchto klipov.

Julien Lutz alias Little X pochádza z Kanady. Na začiatku 90tych rokov našiel svoju vášeň v kreslení komiksov, venoval sa dizajnu pozvánok na rozličné párty a tiež pôsobil nejaký čas ako writer.

V roku 1993 získal cez študijný program miesto v MuchMusic, kde pričuchol ku kamere a objavil svet filmu. Začal sa naplno venovať natáčaniu. Posielal svoje práce mnohým filmárom i režisérom do Spojených štátov. Tam si ho všimla jedna New Yorkská produkčná spoločnosť, ktorá ho následne aj zamestnala. V tom čase sa mu podarilo spolupracovať s režisérskou megastar Hype Williamsom. Čoskoro nakrútil svoj prvý videoklip What It Takes pre kanadského rapera menom Choclair.

Jeho kariéra rýchlo napredovala. V roku 1998 získal niekoľko významných ocenení vrámci MuchMusic Video Awards. Ďalší jeho rok bol rovnako úspešný. V MuchMusic Video Awards prevzal cenu Najlepšie nezávislé video za klip If I Were A Planet od Black KATT.

V roku 2000 ho magazín Rolling Stone označil prívlastkom hot video director. V tom istom roku zhrabol na MuchMusic Video Awards cenu za Najlepšie rapové video. Bolo ku skladbe Let‘s Ride od Choclaira.

V roku 2001 režíroval klip k Mystikalovmu hitu Shake Ya Ass, ktorý mu tiež priniesol viacero ocenení.

Okrem hudobných videoklipov režíroval X aj reklamný spot pre Diddyho módnu značku Sean John, reklamy pre Burger King, Nintendo, Guiness, Chrysler a Reebok.
