I completely agree with you Barry. There is a skill set for them all. Just like the different genres. Just because a director could make a great romance, doesn’t mean they’ll make a great action film.
Few directors can do both though on a high level. But they are out there.
Some of the best that made the jump (in my opinion)
Music Videos to Feature Films
David Fincher
Spike Jonze
Commercials to Feature Films
Ridley & Tony Scott
Michael Bay
They have all been able to find an audience in their respectable fields I personally like them all for different reasons.
Big Scarcrow- That’s a very interesting question. I never thought about it. Before those SNL shorts, I would consider them all sketch comedy. Did you ever see the MAD TV spoofs? I think you could easily label them under short films. MAD TV had some great ones.
