Daniel "Cloud" Campos is an award-winning Los Angeles-based dancer, director, and occasional actor raised in San Diego, California and Orlando, Florida.
Daniel Campos has many directing credits, producing music videos for artists such as Hayley Williams, Zedd, and Panic! At the Disco. Most recently (2015), he has produced a music video for Panic! At the Disco. This was Daniel's second time collaborating with the band, having previously directed the music video for 'This is Gospel' back in 2013.
The band themselves were very excited to work with Daniel Campos again because the new music video he was directing would be a follow on from the narrative in 'This is Gospel'. Towards the end of the 'This is Gospel' music video, the lead singer Brendon Urie is running towards the light, and in the new music video for 'Emperor's New Clothes', Brendon has reached hell, and he is turning into the devil.
Daniel's music videos are very well constructed, and he uses some interesting techniques when creating his music videos. For example, when shooting the 'Emperor's New Clothes' video, he chose to film at 12 frames per second, giving the effect of very glitch movements. This effect fits very well with the theme of the narrative: with the protagonist Brendon becoming possessed by the devil.
