news Tanu Muino wins Best Director, Duck Sauce’s Mesmerize named Video Of The Year as UKMVAs 2021 rocks The Roundhouse

Tanu Muino won Best Director and the Keith Schofield-directed video for Duck Sauce’s Mesmerise won the Video Of The Year at the 14th UK Music Video Awards last Thursday night (November 4th), on an emotional evening when the music video production community congregated for the first time in two years at The Roundhouse for the UKMVAs, hosted by Maisie Adam.An audience of music video professionals from the UK and around the world saw Ukranian director Muino accept two awards on the night - Best R&B/Soul Video for Normani’s Wild Side, featuring Cardi B, and then the Best Director prize from award sponsor Electric Theatre Collective's Oscar Wendt - becoming the first woman to win one of the UKMVAs most prestigious awards.At the climax of the show Keith Schofield was present to hear about his Video of the Year triumph - for his scurrilous video for Duck Sauce’s Mesmerize - via live link-up while sitting in his car in Los Angeles. Schofield had previously won the Best Dance/Electronic Video International Award for the outrageous self-animated video - created last year during lockdown. In the manner of the video, Schofield also created a thank-you video message from watermarked stock footage - a major feature of the video.It was one of several memorable moments on an exultant evening, with saw Sam Davey of OB Management becoming the popular recipient of the Best Agent award, and Juliette Larthe being presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award, for her work as a producer and executive producer of videos for over 20 years - accepting her award from Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie.The presentation of Larthe's Outstanding Achievement Award was accompanied by a film in which several female contemporaries gathered to acclaim her longstanding work in the industry, and achievement by women in music videos was one of the themes of the evening.The award for Best Commissioner went to Sony Music’s Kat Cattaneo (above right, with host Maisie Adam). Precious Mahaga, EP and head of music at Agile (below left), won Best Producer, accepting the prize from Estere Sulca at award sponsor WPA (below).Other female winners included Elise Butt, who won the Best Editor in a Video award for her work on the Little Simz video for Introvert, Taísa Malouf, winner of Best Production Designer for her work on DJ Snake & Selena Gomez’s Selfish Love; and Liz Clare, director of Dua Lipa’s Studio 2054, winner of Best Music Film. Kimberley Stuckwisch won the Best Rock Video Newcomer award for Jeremy Ivey's Someone Else's Problem, and Abigail Wilson won Best Dance/Electronic Newcomer for Modeselektor's Mean Friend.Sam Davey's journey to the stage to collect the Best Agent award was interrupted by so many well-wishers the walk-up video and music had finished before he got there. Davey (above) then paid tribute to his fellow director's reps in the UK industry, and to his boss, Otis Bell.Barcelona and London-based production company CANADA won the award for Best Production Company - with producer Karen Sauri (above, with mic) leading a contingent of the company staffers to the stage to collect the award, while London-based facility Electric Theatre Collective took the Best Post Production Company prize.CANADA directors also took two UK video prizes - Best Pop Video UK for Lope Serrano’s video for Dua Lipa’s Love Again, and Best Dance/Electronic for Hot Chip’s Straight To The Morning by REALITE.French director Aube Perrie collected two awards on the night, the Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap International prize for Megan Thee Stallion’s Thot Shit, and then picking up the Best New Director award (above right) from Lewis Crossfield at award sponsor Time Based Arts.Femi Ladi (above centre) won the award for Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap UK for Pa Salieu & Backyard Gee’s My Family, collecting the award with DoP Stefan Yap (right). This was one of two awards won for Pa Salieu works, the other being Tawbox's direction of the live performance of Frontline (for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) in the hotly contested Best Live Video category.Several International video winners who could not attend the ceremony joined with the festivities via live link-up, including Bear Damon, director of Best Alternative Video UK winner, James Blake’s Say What You Will (above); Christian Breslauer, winner of Best Pop Video International for Lil Nas X's Industry Baby; Andzej Gavriss, for his video for Russian artist Sansara's We Will Become Better; and Arnaud Bresson for Beabadoobee’s Last Day On Earth, winner of Best Rock UK.But there were many first time winners who accepted their awards on the night, including colourist Alex Gregory, who won Best Colour Grade in a Video for his work on Bastille's Distorted Light Beam, accepting the award from Toby Tomkins at award sponsor CHEAT (above); and DoP Michal Babinec accepting the Best Cinematography award for Califato's Fandangô de carmen porter. The award for Best Choreography for Purple Disco Machine's Fireworks, was picked up by director Greg Barth and producer Ramy Dance (below).And amid scenes of joy and elation, the audience fell quiet when Marcel Beckford, EP at Yellow Fish Group, came on stage to pay tribute to Luke Biggins, the director, DoP and founder of Yellow Fish, who tragically died last month.The short yet powerful speech by Beckford (above) focussed upon Luke Biggins’ dedication to making videos for British black music, and the opportunities he gave to beginners in the industry. This prompted a standing ovation from the audience - an appropriately sombre and emotional moment that found its place amid the excitement of the night.• UK Music Video Awards 2021 - all the winners here

news UK Music Video Awards 2019: Henry Scholfield wins Best Director, Vossi Bop is Video of the Year, FKA Twigs wins 5 awards, Michel Gondry accepts Icon Award

Henry Scholfield took top honours on the biggest night of the year for music videos, winning Best Director and Video of the Year for his video for Stormzy's Vossi Bop at the UK Music Video Awards 2019, held at the The Roundhouse in London last night (October 23rd).Scholfield (above) headed a list of winners that included FKA Twigs (below) winning Best Artist and four awards for her video for Cellophane, Object & Animal winning Best Production Company, Duncan Loudon winning two awards including Best New Director, Semera Khan taking the Best Commissioner prize for the second time; and the UKMVAs' highest honour, the Icon Award, going to legendary music video director Michel Gondry. On an emotional evening celebrating the greatest work in music videos of the past year, the 12th annual UK Music Video Awards, hosted by Adam Buxton, bestowed over 30 awards for excellence in all aspects of the creativity and craft of music videos, many of which were sponsored by companies closely associated with the music video production industry, before an audience of over 800 music video professionals from the UK and around the world. Other big winners were Javier Alejandro, named Best Producer for his work with Henry Scholfield and others, and American director Nick Roney, who accepted two awards on the night, for his videos for Cayucas and Flasher. British winners included Ian Pons Jewell, winning Best Dance Video-UK for his video for Beardyman's 6am (Ready To Write), and Frank Lebon, who won his first UKMVA for the Best Urban Video-International for A$AP Rocky ft Tame Impala's Sundress. Furthermore, the inaugural Best Special Video Project Award was won by Aniel Karia for his extended video for Kano's Trouble.The international dimension of the UK Music Video Awards 2019 was shown in honours for Spanish directing duo Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó (above, centre and right), winning Best Pop Video-International for Rosalía's De Aqui No Sales, Spanish director Pablo Maestres's video for Barns Courtney's You And I winning Best Pop Video-UK, Dutch director Wouter Stouter won Best Rock Video-International for De Staat’s Kitty Kitty; and Bosnian director Vedran Rupic winning Best Dance Video-International for Salvatore Ganacci’s Horse - all of whom were at the ceremony to collect their awards.Leading US director Vincent Haycock (below) was also present to collect his first ever MVA - following numerous nominations over the past decade - for Best Rock Video-UK, honouring his video for Sam Fender's Dead Boys. In collecting the award, Haycock referred to the important theme of the song, and the video, about the disturbing levels of suicide among young men. It was a moment of reflection in an otherwise celebratory night.And amid the run of awards for work over the past 12 months or so, the UKMVAs honoured one of music videos' greatest ever directors, Michel Gondry. It was a chance to look back at the man's incredible work for Bjork, Chemical Brothers, The White Stripes, Foo Fighters, Beck, and many more, and the film accompanying the award included messages of congratulations from Bjork, Paul McCartney, Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands and actor Jim Carrey.In a break with tradition, Gondry accepted the Icon Award for 2019 via a live video link-up, from his office in Los Angeles, talking to the audience about his crucial collaborators at Partizan - founder Georges Bermann, longtime producer Julie Fong, current producer Raffi Adlan - the importance of his creative relationship with Bjork, and working with McCartney. And in true Gondry fashion, he attempted to take the Icon award from Adam Buxton, through the giant screen at the Roundhouse.The evening began, following Adam Buxton's opening comedy routine, with the Best Video-Newcomer awards, where speeches by winners Lucrecia Taormina, who won Best Pop Video-Newcomer for her video for Ashnikko's Hi, It's Me, Alex Gargot, who won Best Dance Video–Newcomer for Cora Novoa's State Of Mind, and Filmawi (below), who won Best Urban Video-Newcomer for Jay Prince's Beamlight, set the warm and emotional tone that carried on throughout the ceremony this year.These were followed by the first batch of winners in the Technical Achievement categories: Damien Jalet sent an video message in thanks for his Best Choreography award for his work on Thom Yorke's ANIMA; while artist and director Baloji accepted the award for Best Styling for his own video for Zombies, filmed in the Congo. Later in the show, Páraic Mc Gloughlin also accepted his award for Best Animation, for Weval's Someday, via video message, while Framestore's colourist Simon Bourne accepted the Best Colour Grade award for the second year running for the video for Prince's Mary Don't You Weep.But Andrew Thomas Huang's video for FKA Twigs' Cellophane dominated the Technical categories, with an unprecedented mini-sweep of three awards: for Best Editing, won by Huang himself; Best Visual Effects, won by VFX house Analog Studio; and the Best Cinematography in a Video award, won by the Spanish DoP Daniel Fernández Abelló. Cellophane also won a fourth award, for Best Alternative Video-UK. Twigs then won Best Artist award - her second win in this category - accepting the award by video message. This proved to be the lead-up to one of the more remarkable wins on the night: Object & Animal, home of Huang, Twigs as a director, and Diane Kunst and Mau Morgo, winning the coveted Best Production Company award (above). On receiving the award, co-MD Dom Thomas pointed out that the company opened its doors less than a year ago.Ultimately, the night belonged to Henry Scholfield. Having won Best Urban Video-UK for Stormzy's Vossi Bop, Scholfield returned to the stage to collect the Best Director award, for his work on that video and his others for Wiley and Rosalía in the past 12 months - ten years after he had won his first award at the UKMVAs.Finally the whole team at Caviar accompanied Scholfield to the stage to collect the biggest award of the night, Video Of The Year (above) - the final joyful moment of the 12th UK Music Video Awards.• UK Music Video Awards 2019 - all the winners
