In Adam Buxton's latest foray into music video for BUG TV, he teams up with Layzell brothers Matt and Paul to unleash an utterly mad reinterpretation of 'Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight' starring Pavel the Vagrant Animator. Think of it like a journey through Yellow Submarine and Viz magazine with added homeless drug addict. The prolific Matt and Paul Layzell have done an amazing amount of work in illustration, animation, TV and more recently, some top videos for Mazes and Crystal Antlers. As with previous BUG videos, it's not to be missed and to be seen to be believed.

Here's the first of two 360° music films that are being premiered at the ICCI360 Arena on Weymouth Beach during the Olympic and Paralympic games as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Its now being shown in the 21 metre dome on a 63 metre x 6 metre screen, while the sailors are out on the water fighting for medals at the 2012 Olympics. Nudge is a collaboration between Bournemouth-based music artist Momo:Tempo and production company Lovelove Films. The two were brought together by the iNet's Visual Soundtrack programme, in association with Creative England, INet Southwest creative industries and funded by European Regional Development Fund. They have also teamed Exeter-based Wiseman Productions with hip-hop duo Carpet Face and Audible 1 for another 360° video to also appear at the Weymouth venue. Audiences of up to 700 at a time are treated to an immersive audio visual experience, and are able to participate in a diverse range of creative and cultural activities during the Olympics, including stunning live music, theatre performances, 360° film presentations, high resolution photography, animations, and interactive gaming events to excite the public and Olympics visitors.

As featured in Adam Buxton's BUG, episode 1 (09-07-12) on Sky Atlantic, it's Garth Jennings and Adam Buxton's version of the insane and unhinged version of Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues by Japanese punk kings Guitar Wolf (who Adam met once on a trip to Japan, and now describes them as a combination of Rammstein and The Muppets). Adam waltzes through several real explosions, small and large in his fetching stripey swimsuit, and among other things, barging his own father out the way as he marches to the front of the queue for some Summertime Booze. And believe it or not, this was shot in England, in March, when it was hot - on the beach at West Wittering in Sussex. Of course this is the best thing made for telly this year - together with the other videos made especially for the TV version of BUG. David Wilson's video for The Sushi Song shown in the second episode is also now online. Videos by Dougal Wilson, Cyriak Harris, L'Ogre and The Layzell Brothers will appear in forthcoming episodes of Adam Buxton's BUG on Sky Atlantic. And you can find Adam and Garth talking in entertaining fashion about the Summertime Blues video in the Making Of video here. http://youtu.be/lLTJAZu70zo

A group of scientists experiment on the Foreign Beggars in Mike Tyler and Joe Elliot's excellent, darkly humourous sci-fi drama for their single Flying To Mars, featuring vocalist Donae'o. And with some fairly graphic medical procedures going on, it's not for the squeamish... "The Beggars and Mau5trap approached us after they saw the music video Mike directed for Dubbledge," explains Joe. "I found the track quite violent in its sound and wanted to balance a strong narrative with great performance from the Beggars, so I wrote an idea based around the sinister premise that a group of scientists, whilst experimenting, were trying to engineer the 'perfect' Foreign Beggar... i.e. the best MC or the best DJ. The side effects then prove to have serious consequences - with the group themselves are at the centre of this conspiracy." The intensity of the Flying To Mars video is heightened by Nathan Mackintosh's excellent photography. "The video was shot over two and half days and Mike, as well as editing the piece, did all sixty special effects shots, including some clever surgery compositing," Joe explains. The Foreign Beggars video marks the next stage in the progression of Burning Reel into music video production. Coming from a documentary background, Joe, Mike and producer Cal Gordon set up the company in 2010 with a base at Pinewood Studios. The team have worked with a variety of labels - and some of the biggest artists in UK electronic music - and have now moved to new offices in Soho in central London. Joe says, "We never try to play it safe with our ideas and believe in the fundamental principle that music videos are an opportunity to tell a great story. This allows us to stay away from convention. Through working with the same, highly skilled crew every time, we always know we will deliver what we promise." http://www.youtube.com/watchv=zgWApfPXvXw&feature=youtu.be
