Super-duper video for star-in-the-making Vanessa Brown by Ross Cooper and Bugsy Riverbank Steel, aka OneInThree. Ross and Bugsy bring all their usual graphic invention to an idea based on the song’s break-up theme – a revolving removals box, revealing different aspects, and different sizes, of VV. As they explain below, they applied typical invention to [...]
Another slick, well-shot urban vid from Emil Nava, for East London’s self-styled ‘Star In The Hood’ Tinchy Stryder. As with much of Emil’s other work, the production values belie an underwhelming budget – and the ladies are sporting some eye-popping, back-in-the-day swimwear… Tinchy Stryder ft Taio Cruz Take Me Back (Universal Island) Prod Co: Between [...]
Tommy Sparks and Max Vitali are both new names in these parts, but you’ll be hearing more from them. Tommy is a dance-pop god-in-the-making; Max is HSI London’s new Swedish signing – he’s done commercials, but his only previous video was for Robyn’s Be Mine – who had the rum idea of having a group [...]
Pip Brown aka Ladyhawke leaves her motel room and takes to the open road – and beyond. In her head. It’s the very cool debut video by Frater – that’s animation duo Benji Davies and Jim Field over at Partizan Lab, who have been working the past few years together on idents, short films, commercials [...]
Taking a leaf out of Tom Hanks’ book in Big, it’s David Allain’s video for Frankmusik. Of course the budget didn’t quite stretch to a giant piano that lights up as you step across it – that’ll be a bargain $250,000 of your loose change, according to producer Paul Carter. It took Paul a while [...]
Although it’s a bit confusing, him being a Last Shadow Puppet and a Rascal (and their records being around at the same time), here is all the evidence you need that Miles Kane is not hanging on the coattails of his more famous Arctic Monkey mate. Straight-talking, atmospheric, powerful performance vid (with merest hint of [...]
Danish director Casper Balslev’s beautifully shot video for The Presets’ The Boy’s In Love led him to be signed by Paul Mckee at Love a few months ago. Now Casper has directed his first UK commissions. For the killer Paris Is Burning, Ladyhawke hits the street, striding through feathers, fireworks and tickertape accompanied by a [...]
The Feeling reunite with Caswell Coggins: Turn It Up is Caswell’s fourth video for the band. It’s a performance video on a big canvas with a cast of thousands. But probably not such a big budget. Just ask Kwok. [pay]The Feeling Turn it Up (Island Records) Production co: Crossroads Films Director: Caswell Coggins Producer: Kwok [...]
The new one for Leon Jean-Marie is another good example of how Ross and Bugsy of OneInThree deliver fine, innovative graphic ideas. It’s a performance video with an interesting twist – or rather, wobble. The intriguing effect seen here comes courtesy of Kevin Atkinson – aka the Method Artist. Kevin is a Canadian computer vision [...]
Between The Eyes: Eran Creevy has shot Natty’s July for Tim Nash at Atlantic, while Mat Whitecross has not only shot an alternative video for Coldplay single Violet Hill (coming soon on Promonews) and just shot a live studio performance of them recording their new record Viva La Vida, he is also co-directing Coldplay’s next [...]
