While in the band, Hart started to direct music videos for other acts. He went on to found his own video company and has directed over 80 music videos. The videos include many for Creation Records, such as My Bloody Valentine's "You Made Me Realise" and "Feed Me with Your Kiss", and he directed concert videos for The Stone Roses, including Live Blackpool. He also directed For Lovers for Wolfman, featuring Pete Doherty and The Libertines' "Can't Stand Me Now", three promos for Babyshambles including "Killamangiro" and "Delivery", as well as directing numerous videos for Primal Scream (including the Screamadelica video album) and six for Paul Weller. He also worked as producer for Jesse Garon and The Desperadoes and Baby Lemonade from Glasgow on the Narodnik Records Label.
