Music auteur

In French cinema in the 1950s, when the New Wave began, few auteurs had emerged which was noted by Truffaut in his 1954 essay titled "A certain tendency in French cinema". Some of these film auteurs included Robert Bresson, Jean Cocteau, Abel Gance, and Jacques Tati. The auteur concept has also been applied to non-film directors, such as popular music producers namely Phil Spector, considered the first music auteur and Brian Wilson, who was credited to be first pop musician to write, arrange, produce and perform his own material. Another media where auteur concept has been applied is video games, particularly video game designers and developers. Some of them are Hideo Kojima, Japan's pre-eminent auteur game designer, Hidetaka Miyazaki, who is known for having "total direction" and a defined style for his games such as Dark Souls, and Tim Schafer, whose work on Brütal Legend had shown distinct touches which are "snappy dialog, quirky characters and strange dreamlike environments".
