Music videos

Julien Christian Lutz attended both Mayfield Secondary School and North Park Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario. [citation needed] A protégé of Hype Williams,[2] X has been noted for his high-budget, visually distinctive music videos for popular music singles, including videos for R. Kelly, Usher, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Korn, Katy Perry feat Jessie J, Nelly Furtado, Sean Paul, Justin Bieber, Drake, Nicki Minaj and The Wanted. He is currently represented by DNA - David Naylor and Associates, Hollywood, CA.

His trademark is tweaking the letterbox format; instead of just using black bars on the top and bottom of the frame to frame the image, many videos by X actually feature the bars opening vertically to reveal the video and closing vertically at the end, like a letter box.[3]
