Aggressive is a New York-based Latin Grammy Award-winning music video directing team of Alex Topaller and Daniel Shapiro. They have been described by Movie Creation Mag as "having a fascination with the wonderful, in the likes of the surrealist Rafał Olbiński" and "tenacious about pushing themselves and some overclocked hardware in order to create striking videos" by Video Static.[1]
To date, Aggressive has directed music videos for Michael Jackson, Stone Temple Pilots, Juanes, Megadeth, Bloc Party, The Click Five, Kerli, Susan Justice, Black Label Society, Hoobastank, Killswitch Engage, The Script, Alexis Jordan and Lil' Rob. They have also directed commercials for brands such as Acura, Toyota, Bloomberg, Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui,[2] Marc Ecko, Penfolds (RED), Dun & Bradstreet, MTV, Subway, AT&T, Kyocera, Cablevision, Topps, Caché and more.
Both coming up from VFX backgrounds, Topaller and Shapiro take a hands-on approach in all aspects of the process, from concept development, to shoot direction, all the way through post-production.[3]
