With the release of “Otis,” the first video off Watch the Throne, we thought we’d take a look at some of the videos made by “Otis” director Spike Jonze.

VIDEO: “Otis” Sneak Peek

We already know the video will be dope as hell because Jonze has crafted masterpieces in his enviable career.

Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Where The Wild Things Are are iconic films made by Jonze.

He also directed some of the illest musicians on the planet, delivering visuals for Bjork, Sonic Youth, the Beastie Boys, Pharcyde, Daft Punk, Kanye and scores of other artists.

After the break, see why he tapped by ‘Ye and Hov for “Otis.”
