Shot on a budget of a £1000, unsigned MVA-nominated directer Dave Aspinall delivers his promo for Manchester band The Whip. The video is “set in a post apocalyptic world littered with the remains of a technological era, with a tribe of new age children going about their daily routines”. Dave shot it himself, at reliably [...]

New, unsigned director JG Harding captures northwest indie rockers The Heartbreaks in this impressive performance promo shot in and around a beautiful, decaying theatre from a bygone age – the Morecambe Winter Gardens, in the band’s hometown. JG shot as well as directed, and combines monochrome and colour to increase the visual impact of the [...]

Richard Hunter’s previous video was for Good Shoes’ The Way My Heart Beats. His new one is for unsigned London outfit Chapter 24 – who, like a few up and coming bands, are playing at SXSW this week. Richard says: “The video was shot a thin shoelace budget, not those chunky ones you hear about, [...]

Shot on the 7D on a budget of £1,000, unrepresented new director Dave Aspinall’s promo for Jaymo and Andy George’s brutal-toned Hold Me Back is a sympathetic Fight Club-style fast-paced gem with elements of the old Saturday afternoon telly wrestling bouts. Seconds out… Jaymo and Andy George feat. J2K Hold Me Back (Moda) Director: Dave [...]

Here’s a steadicam performance video with a difference, for unsigned singer Luis Almau by new director Stuart Hall. In fact, its made up of what would usually be the outtakes that the editor would immediately consign to Trash. “I really wanted to do a stereotypical, artist-sings-to-camera one-shot video – but with the twist of the [...]

Excellent showcase for the unsigned Exlovers by newcomer Jamie Chung. It’s a straightforward performance that’s nicely located and art directed – and finds itself understandably attracted to the very watchable girl singer. Exlovers You Forget So Easily Director: Jamie Chung Producer: Jamie Chung DoP: Phil Turner Art directors: Lucy Yates & Luke Price Editor: Rebecca [...]

Extreme lo-fi video slice-and-dice for the unpronouncable Dananananaykroyd by Stephen Agnew, that’s been selected as video of the week on Cerys Matthews’ show on 6music. Stephen explains that the video was shot in sunny Glasgow “with help from the Glasgow city council and Botanic Gardens and hindrance from some nosey community support officer.” Probably called [...]

Finely rendered and highly enjoyable welter of murderous mayhem and gore, illustrated by Damien Weighill, and animated by Stephen Wake. Which might possibly upset fans of Mother Teresa… Damien is a very fine illustrator, whose work you almost certainly know. His projects include Bad Nature and Back To Square One, as well as supplying drawings [...]

Here’s a dark and sexy beast for The Newham Generals on Dizzy Rascal’s new label Dirtee Stank – featuring an incisive cameo by the label founder himself – directed by the young team Hope Audikana. Dizzee’s always a charismatic presence, but it’s the gritty, provocative storyline and excellent direction and editing which marks this out [...]

This is a lovely song by the Danish band Our Broken Garden, and what seems like a simple Bolex-shot video by Phil Molloy – featuring their very watchable vocalist Anna – turns out to be quite strange and clever too. Involving lots of old-fashioned white A-frame tents. Phil says: “It was shot in Denmark, in [...]
