“Undone,” the first collaboration between Jonze and the slack rock icons involved a single Steadicam take of the band performing their first hit plus a well-photographed pack of unleashed canines. But “Buddy Holly,” which seamlessly inserted Weezer into the rerun nostalgia of Happy Days, was a technical breakthrough (scenes of the show was sewn together with meticulously recreated footage of Al’s diner) and a star making hit. More recently, Jonze directed the band through a cute and fuzzy animal safari in “Island in the Sun.”
