Jim Longden directs a charming and well choreographed one-shot video for Them & I, the indie-filk project of Australian singer-songwiter Jake Edwards.With just a few days to create the shoot. Jim decided to venture into the risky scenario of shooting a one-shot on 16mm and with only enough film stock to complete 8 takes. It's also theatrical, with scene changes occuring 'on stage' as props and extras move in and out of the scene. And luckily they did it perfectly on the eighth take.

Freddie Cattaneo directs an absorbing promo for Tom Grennan reflects on the good times at the first light of dawn in Freddie Cattaneo's uplifing and atmospheric promo. Sitting in his car in a field in the countryside, Grennan relives moments from the night before, with the euphoria of the event and the memory merging into a sweet blur. In a storm of chaotic, cathartic cutaways, the video delivers a heartwarming feeling of belonging and community in sophisticated fashion. "I wanted to capture the feeling of a night you don’t quite want to end, when moments from earlier in the night start flashing through your mind as the morning draws in," says Cattaneo."The world needed to be raw, tactile and completely lived-in. Using the natural elements - rain, fire and water - we brought a physicality to the film, something you could feel, almost reach out and touch."The non-linear edit moves between the stillness of sunrise and fragments of the night before, to create the feeling of almost like looking back on a memory. We didn’t want anything to feel overly-composed or contrived. A big part of it was giving Tom the space to be himself and letting his natural energy and charisma come through."

Jack Howard turns an unlikely premise into a playful visual story, in this promo for James Blunt's latest. The video for Circles finds James behind the wheel of a car, trying the ignition with no success. But rather than taking the wheel of a standard courtesy car, he hops on the back of a small electric one instead, journeying around the city without a care in the world. In some ways, it's a typical Blunt video - joyous, slightly self deprecating and a bit silly. But Howard's eye for cinematic moments and composition adds an extra layer to it, and it's a very well executed project. Lovely work.
