videoBurna Boy 'It's Plenty' by Troy Roscoe

Burna Boy brings the carefree vibes in Troy Roscoe's promo for It's Plenty. Interweaving live performance and a laidback series of vignettes, the focus is purely on good times, with an overarching feeling of optimism and celebration. "As one of my favourite songs at this moment, I was super excited when Burna's team hit me up for this," Roscoe says."The song is nothing but good vibes and it was important that the visuals represented that. The video captures people from all walks of life coming together for enjoyment. We want people the watch the video and look forward to good times. When I show family and friends this video they smile the whole way through so it’s safe to say the video was a success!"Textural VHS overlays and subtle visual effects seamlessly tie together the various setups, and Burna Boy's performance ensures that all eyes are on him throughout.

videoFlowerovlove 'Get With You' (Live) by Amitybloc

Amitybloc direct a live visual for South London teen musician Flowerovlove inspired by vintage TV shows . In the middle of a vibrant orange set, we see the artist - otherwise known as Joyce Cisse - perform Get With You alongside her backing musicians, captured via a multi-cam set up. Exuding nostalgic vibes and a sense of feel-good energy, the directing duo's latest video for South London teenager is a simple yet perfectly executed concept. "Flowerovlove had some really clear references and knew exactly what she wanted: an old skool TV broadcast performance like The Doors and Nancy Sinatra," say Amitybloc."We meticulously studied them day and night to spot any small things that united them all. Clearly destined for a multi-cam set up, we used broadcast cameras and a simple but stunning set design."Once the first edit was finished, it still didn’t feel quite complete. So we managed to track down one of the original MCs for ATV back in the 50s who would usually introduce the musical performances. Funnily enough, he got her name completely wrong calling her 'flowers for love' not flowerovlove. Fortunately flowerovlove did this strange look to camera right at the start of the performance so it ended up looking like she was reacting to the mispronoucnation live on air."

videoRikas 'Never Leaving The House' by Aladin Mekanovic

The Rikas boys are happier indoors, in Aladin Mekanovic's quirky promo for the German indie band's Never Leaving The House. We follow each of the band members as they wake up in their bedrooms, which are nearly identical, aside from a flourish of a chosen colour for each individual. They keep to their individual routines before eventually banding together, taking part in a fun little dance number before deciding enough is enough for one day, and retreating back to bed. The nostalgic, vintage aesthetic is achieved through textural art direction, bold colour palettes and an overall sense of anachronism, and the group's performances elevate the offbeat nature of the piece.

videoElton John, Britney Spears 'Hold Me Closer' by Tanu Muino

Tanu Muino directs a bold dance promo for Elton John and Britney Spears collab Hold Me Closer. The update to the iconic track Tiny Dancer comes complete with a refreshing video, effortlessly joyous and celebratory, with a brilliant use of colour, depicting several pairs of dancers in beautiful locations around the world.With event songs like this, the visuals can often feel incomplete without the artists in them, however Muino and team ensure that all eyes are on the beauty of the choreography - by LA-based choreographer Jacob Jonas - and captivating locations.The resulting project more than makes up for their absence. Beautifully shot by Muino's regular collaborator Nikita Kuzmenko - also nominated at the inaugural Best DoP Award at this year's UKMVAs - and brilliantly edited by Carlos Font Clos - it offers a marvellous, and emotional new perspective to this classic song.

videoGeorge Ezra 'Dance All Over Me' by Charlie Sarsfield

Charlie Sarsfield directs a compelling promo for George Ezra's Dance All Over Me, which sees George in a large studio space, performing as a group of dancers begin to multiply behind him. Transitioning from wide shots to extreme close-ups, the camera glides around the space smoothly, capturing a hypnotic amalgam of movement and performance."Since watching his early videos, I’ve always wanted to work with George and actually doing so has been quite surreal," says Sarsfield. "The idea stemmed from taking inspiration and techniques traditionally used in hip hop videos from the likes of Kendrick Lemar and Pa Salieu, where people in the background begin to multiply."We wanted it to feel like George had walked onto the wrong set, surrounded by dancers. As the track progresses, the choreo really comes to life, almost as if the music inspired them to move."George liked the idea of having line dancing, featuring LOTs of dancers and the routine was masterfully put together by Suzzette Brissett. Huge thanks to everyone involved in bringing this to life. It’s great to see it out in the world.“I’m really proud of this video. It was an ambitious set up and the team executed it beautifully."
