Vincent Haycock (born Sept 1, 1979 in Carmel, California) is a filmmaker and artist living in Los Angeles.

Early Life
A Vince started in graphic design at a early age. He spent summers during high school interning for his Aunt & Uncle, Laurie Haycock & P. Scott Makela and their studio Words + Pictures for Business + Culture that they ran during their artist in residency at Crandbrook Art Academy. There he was exposed to projects like the Fight Club Title Sequence, magazine layouts for Raygun, and the early stages of motion graphics. He eventually attended California College of the Arts in San Francisco to study graphic design.

Career
Since an early age Vincent worked as a graphic designer and photographer. At 19 years old, he became the creative director for Juxtapoz Magazine. After a few years working in print he transitioned into motion graphics and became a creative director at the celebrated film collective Digital Kitchen. In 2004, he directed and design the opening sequence for Nip/Tuck, which garnered an Emmy nomination and begun his directing career. He started his own company called Vitamin with fellow Digital Kitchen Creative Director and ex Nike Creative Ryan Dunn.

In 2006, Vincent transitioned from design to film and began directing music videos and commercials. Vincent has since directed dozens of award winning music videos, most notable was his creative direction on Calvin Harris18 Months Album, which consisted of 7 music videos, album cover, and type design. Vincent also directed Paul McCartney's "Early Days" video that "is a poetic homage to the legendary beginnings of Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s relationship.” “Their story at its core is a universal one, two young kids who bond over their passion for music and form a band and friendship. This video is about them, and every band, and every kid who has suffered the ups and downs of starting a band, whether or not they became successful. The universality of their story was a big inspiration of setting the film in Mississippi during the 50s. This is a time period that inspired The Beatles – American Rock and Roll and the Mississippi Delta Blues of the 50s. Early Days is about the spirit and inspiration young musicians find in each other.”

In 2015 Vincent, together with Florence Welch, created The Odyssey, a seven–part film that acts as a visual counterpart to How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful’s music. "The film is titled 'The Odyssey' because it follows Welch's cinematic journey through the storm of heartbreak," said Haycock. "Like the layers of Dante's purgatory, each song or chapter represents a battle that Florence traversed ... that embodied each song or story," he said.

Vincent has directed commercial campaigns for Modelo, Sonos, Nike, Samsung, Duracell, Verizon, HP, Apple, and most recently he directed a long form documentary for Dicks Sporting Goods which followed a soccer team (ReVision FC) made up entirely of Congolese refugee kids, who after relocating to Houston, and went on to play in the state championships. Vincent also directed a short film for the One Love Foundation which garnered several Clio awards among others.

Mainline
Vincent and long time collaborator, AG Rojas, created Mainline, a collective focused on producing short films on a dedicated webpage on Dazed Digital. Through this platform, Vincent and AG produce and curate a series of films focusing on youth. Vincent's motivation for wanting to start this platform was to give a voice to new projects and "inspire [filmmakers] to go out and create something completely unmotivated by money, or any other reason than just doing it." Mainline has allowed Vincent to collaborate with other directors and create collective projects.
