David Kellogg is an American director of film, music video and commercials. He directed just two mainstream feature films, over a dozen specialty films directed for Playboy Corporation, dozens of music videos, and hundreds of commercials.[1][2][3] Kellogg also teaches directing at the ArtCenter College of Design.
Commercials
[edit]Many of the commercials he directed starred high profile HollyWood actors.[4][5] He directed two commercials for American Express that starred Ellen DeGeneres and Jerry Seinfeld. He directed ads for Budweiser Beer's Act Responsible campaign.[6]
In 1996 he directed three commercials which were nominated for the Director's Guild of America annual award for best commercial.[7]
His 2002 ad for Gatorade, Gatorade figures, animated the real faces of sports heroes Peyton Manning, Derek Jeter, Vince Carter, and Mia Hamm as they engaged in a game of soccer in an arcade game.[8]
Feature films
[edit]Kellogg's first feature film was a hip hop musical, then starring rising star Vanilla Ice.[9] The film was described as the 1953 Marlon Brando vehicle, The Wild Ones. Vanilla Ice took Marlon Brandos role as the leader of a motorcycle gang, riding a Suzuki GSX-R750 motorcycle.[10] Motorcycle News celebrated the way the film spotlighted the motorcycle, but noted it was "[A] shame the film was so appallingly awful that director David Kellogg later disowned it."[10] Kellogg was awarded a Razzie for his direction of this film.[11]
In 1998 Kellogg directed Matthew Broderick and Rupert Everett in Inspector Gadget[12] Variety characterized his switch from directing commercials as temporary, and quoted producer Jordan Kerner who explained that he was picked to direct the $98 million film because “He is amazing with color.”
Inspector Gadget was poorly reviewed, nevertheless Disney produced a direct to video sequel, in 2003, and considered a feature film sequel in 2019.[2][13]

The bling-bling neon yellow of Vanilla Ice's GSX-R750 was matched only by the spectacularly colourful Smörgåsbord of his trousers. Anything was possible. A shame the film was so appallingly awful that director David Kellogg later disowned it.
