Jack White Directs, Stars in New Dead Weather Video

Jack White Directs, Stars in New Dead Weather Video

With writing and recording music as well as acting serving as well-trodden territory for Jack White, it seems the one-man guitarmy has decided he's ready to tackle yet another new medium: directing. The video for Dead Weather's funky "I Cut Like a Buffalo" was directed by White, and it's quite the visual:

Shot with bright, bold colors casting White in a film noir silhouette, the video matches the song's mystery. How does one cut like a buffalo, anyway? Regardless of that answer, White's rarely been so animated—his never-more-round eyes darting inside his head are the highlights of the video, along with belly-dancers parading around screen with a large buffalo head. The video was shot in the Nashville home base of White's Third Man Records.

Watch "I Cut Like a Buffalo" below:



So is there anything Jack White can't do? How about upholstery? There's no way this guy is that crafty. Oh, wait...
