This a Mark Romanek music video. The DVD "The Work of Director Mark Romanek" has a discussion of how this video was made. It is part of series of DVDs about music video directors. The other directors in the series are: Anton Corbijn, Chris Cunningham, Jonathan Glazer, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze and Stephane Sednaoui.

Wikipedia has lists for each director's music videos. Here's the one for Mark Romanek:

Fun fact: Paul Gondry is Michel Gondry's teenage son.

This is a Mark Romanek music video. It is one of the music videos featured on “The Work of Director Mark Romanek” DVD.

What’s different about this video from the other Mark Romanek music videos is that Weezer and Romanek fought during the shoot. In all the other interviews on the DVD, bands gushed about what great friends they’d become with Romanek. Many of them put their trust in his vision and were very happy with the results.

Also, interesting is the little joke Romanek threw in: a florescent sign “weerez”, instead of “weezer.” The band later ended up doing t-shirts with the misspelling.

You have seen many of Romanek music videos. Wikipedia has a thorough list.
