Music Video Writers

Does anybody know who has written the action (and non-lyric dialogue) for Weird Al Yankovic's various music videos? Is it usually Al, whoever the director is (which since 1993 has usually been Al), or somebody else?

It's pretty much all Al. He may get input from other sources, especially on something like "Jurassic Park." But the whole concept from start to finish is always Al's.

Yeah, I agree when Al directs his own videos or has control over his projects it's always better!

You hear Al saying in the making of White & Nerdy, before Al was directing his videos, it was his manager Jay Levey who was directing them, but he has become a control freak, so now he's directing them
