Last week threw up a tasty selection of vids from an eclectic bunch of up and coming artists - including Daniel Gomes' video for Wolvves, Ian Pons Jewell's VHS-fest for Pearls Negras, NYSU cinematic vid for Radiohead's Phil Selway, Josh Cole's action thriller for I See MONSTAS, the shimmering Grimes, and Nez's stunning seaborne video for Ten Walls...

From a great new video by Hiro Murai for Chet Faker, to Ninian Doff's latest one for Peace - and new videos by Emil Nava (for Gaslight Anthem), Sophie Muller (for Beck), Vaughan Arnell (for The Script) – here was work from some directors who are surely in for a shout for the big best director award at the UK Music Video Awards in November.Time will tell. And with videos from the likes of Lisa Gunning (her latest for Goldfrapp), Lance Drake (Steve Angello), Ivana Bobic (Kooks), Sashinski (Turan) - the next generation are accounted for too...

Joel Kefali's fun, cartoon-seasoned video for Katy Perry's This Is How We Do was just one of several impressive vids from pop and rock's heavy-hitters last week, some from directors returning to work with artists - like Emil Nava's new one for Ed Sheeran, Alex Courtes new one for Kasabian, Luke Monaghan's new vid for Sam Smith, and Nadia's for Rae Morris.And then, of course, there was Daniel Wolfe' return to music video for Paolo Nutini's Iron Sky - a bleak and beautiful work, with amazing photography by Robbie Ryan. And that's not all, with fine vids for Oliver $ & Jimi Jules, Adi Ulmanskhy, Glass Animals and Foxygen...

Last week, if you can remember that far back, we put some seriously good shit on PROMONEWS. Including Saman Kesh's new Basement Jaxx, Martin De Thurah's new Robyn & Röyksopp, Hiro Murai's new Spoon, Austin Peters' new Bastille (starring Sophie Turner from Game Of Thrones, pictured) and Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid's new Woodkid.Plus videos for Rizzle Kicks, Elbow, Diplo and Swick, Hundred Waters, We The Wild and the Ting Tings...

We have several artists picking up where they previously left off - even if it's also a jumping off point for something new - in the pick of last week's videos. That's the case with the new Duke Dumont video by Tim Main (from Tim & Joe), and in the latest Jungle video by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, and also with Naughty Boy hooting up once again with Ian Pons Jewell. There's also good animated videos for Peach Kings and Flight Brigade, the aftermath of real tragedy with Bear's Den - and a disintegrating woman in the Lake District for Douglas Dare by Rob Chiu, who after his Jon Hopkins vid, is definitely on a bit of a roll...

The legends lead the way in the pick of the week. There's another big new video for Paul McCartney and this one by Vince Haycock is properly ambitious. Then perhaps more surprisingly, comes Eric Clapton's heartfelt tribute to JJ Cale directed by Joseph Toman.Then there's Ninian Doff's new colour-coded (and bloody) video for Royal Blood, another sumptious vidor for Paloma Faith by Paul Gore, excellent debut video for Moko by Ben Strebel, and more...

Kate Moross's new video for Wild Beasts leads the way in our latest weekly round-up of new videos, as the first half of 2014 draws to a close.And this list contains a pool of burgeoning directing talent, including the aforementioned Moross, Zac Ella, Nelson De Castro, Mathy & Fran, Rob Chiu, Greg Davenport and Plastic Horse.

A week of consistently good videos means that this time we've just gone for a short list of absolute gobsmackers.Needless to say, with the awesomeness of Throne and OK Go on show, the invention of DyE, Joywave and Glass Animal, its a showcase for excellent work in art direction and VFX - just in time for the entry season for the MVAs.And then there's the wonderfully glamourous yet impressionistic video for Lana Del Rey by Jake Nava...
