But the psychic power of yoga comes to his rescue, in this charming Radar-commissioned video for Dublin band Kodaline’s debut EP, directed by Ian Gamester. This works [...]

Heathers ‘Forget Me Knots’ by Hugh O’Conor

Director Hugh O’Conor and DP Jamie Tanner spent a week with twin sisters Louise and Ellie from Heathers and all their friends, travelling all over the shop in and around Dublin to create this ensemble video, seemingly filming everywhere from city rooftops to rural pastures to downtrodden backrooms.  All shot using a trusty 5D and [...]

Om UNIT ‘Ulysses’ by BISON

Following their mesmerising work for Jon Hopkins with Swarm and Vessel, and their recent Samsung ad Love Note, Dave Bullivant and Owen Silverwood of BISON have now scratched a nagging itch to dabble in some old school CGI, and in doing so have achieved something a bit special.

Adam Buxton ‘Sushi Song’ by David Wilson

David Wilson’s video for The Sushi Song was shown in episode 2 of Adam Buxton’s BUG on Sky Atlantic earlier this month – a super-sexy affair to match the R&B vibe of Adam’s Sushi Song (produced by Stuart Earl). Or at least as sexy as you can get while singing the praises of raw fish. [...]

Anthony’s video for Under [...]
