Stormzy celebrates his 30th birthday in style with #TheMikeGala, and uses the occasion as a the perfect opportunity for a music video.Enlisting Troy Roscoe to capture the visuals, the video for Angel In The Marble is an elegant 'who's who' of the British entertainment industry, intercutting glossy portraiture with heightened performance moments.&nbsp;Shot by&nbsp;Rick Joaquim, the contrast of fly-on-the-wall footage and glossy posed snapshots creates a concept that is both ambitious and luxurious - very fitting for one of the biggest artists in the industry right now.&nbsp;"What an absolute pleasure to have the pressure of delivering the most important birthday present of all for Stormzy’s 30th," Roscoe says.&nbsp;"Stormzy and team wanted the visual&nbsp;to be nothing short of clean, glossy and to scream elegance. As hard as it was to not include one bit of VFX, I’m so happy with the turn out."The visual is so different to anything I’ve done before as my style revolves heavily around surrealism and visual effects - but in this instance it pushed me to focus on simplicity and beauty, both on the day and in the edit. The night was hectic but exciting, meetings all of those guests and getting to share such a special occasion with Mike himself.&nbsp;"The grade and slow motion footage really tied everything together and gave it a unique look. With greyscale footage all being shot at a slow frame rate to provide the beauty, and the graded footage in the booth providing the contrast and personality."

Troy Roscoe takes things to a new nerve-shredding level in his latest collab with Potter Payper, in a brilliant, horror movie-inspired&nbsp;video for Scenes.&nbsp;Paying homage to some of the great horror films - including&nbsp;Ring and The Shining - reality distorts in Potter's home, bringing as supernatural entities and clones invade his safe space. With a saturated red colour palette and eerily calm camerawork, this a gripping combination of playfulness and dread, with a fabulously intense performance by Potter Payper at the core.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"This one was so fun, with endless directions we could have taken it," confirms Roscoe. "The song and lyrics are so vivid it was super hard to keep my ideas contained."Scenes references some of the best movie horror scenes, shot all static and with a&nbsp;heavy push of red on the colour palette. I think people will be excited to see Potter in a video of this style, as it’s quite far away from anything he’s put out before."[imgtoken data:2]Consummately produced and relentlessly entertaining, the video feels like another step up&nbsp;for both Potter Payper and Troy Roscoe - and raiding the horror canon feels like&nbsp;a shockingly good fit for them both.

Stormzy reflects on the love of his life, in Edem Wornoo's evocative promo for Firebabe.&nbsp;The video opens on a rippling lake, tilting up to a luxury house where Stormzy sits, performing as he&nbsp;stares&nbsp;out at nature.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]The beauty of this video is in the tender closeups and intimate presentation of the artist. Away from any type of spectacle or VFX magic, the focus is on pure emotion and a relaxed energy, and showcases a side of the artist that many may not be familiar with.&nbsp;The drawn-out, fluid shots complement&nbsp;the naturalistic light and organic art direction, creating an aesthetic that feels as pure as the emotions the track evokes.&nbsp;

Bru-C teams up with Teeeezy C for a riveting doc-style video for Playground,&nbsp;paying tribute to the people in his hometown of Nottingham.Shot on 16mm film, this video gets to the heart of what it means to be a Nottingham local, through Bru-C's heartfelt performance and a big cast of extras from his own&nbsp;neighbourhood - the Playground.[imgtoken data:1]Teeeezy gets a real sense of the rapper's background, shooting everywhere from&nbsp;his local pub to the City Ground, home of&nbsp;Nottingham Forest - just promoted back to the English Premier League for the first time in 23 years.The&nbsp;visual also unflinchingly explores the idea of the Playground being&nbsp;a metaphor for the lawlessness and brutality of inner city living. That includes&nbsp;a reverse play on police brutality and touching on undertones of poverty, racism and classism.A viscerally&nbsp;raw and honest representation of Bru-C and his hometown.

Shan Phearon returns with an electric visual for maverick rap star and cult wordsmith Potter Payper.&nbsp; Street-futurism, big set-piece spectacles and subtext collide as introspective Potter travels a long, dark road in a glowing VW Golf flatbed truck ridden by outlaws, and performs the confessional Gangsteritus amongst mysterious, symbolic figures in the abyss of the night.Taking the texture of UV in a forward-thinking direction, Shan and his team devised and built one of the world's first UV blacklight drones for film, to achieve the striking vision. The music video is part of Apple Music's The Agenda series, pairing UK music's most important contemporary performers&nbsp;with trailblazing filmmakers.

Kevin Hudson directs a high-energy performance promo for Potter Payper.&nbsp;Released to coincide with his latest mixtape project, the video spans an incredible amount of vignettes in its four minute runtime, placing the rapper in a variety of contrasting situations, celebrating the good and bad in life.&nbsp;Payper's performance takes centre-stage of course, eminating the raw, confident energy he's become known for, and the cinematography - especially the use of 180 degree flip transitions&nbsp;- adds a fresh dimension to the concept.And as he explains below, this is an especially treasured project by Hudson, as it was his last with Luke Biggins, who died last month.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hector Dockrill directs an imposing promo for Tendai's Not Around.&nbsp;The video opens on a city rooftop at night, as the skyline unravels behind the artist, and a palpable sense of danger lingers in the air.&nbsp;Cutting inside an apartment block, we see Tendai perform the track in a series of gritty vignettes, all shot in high contrast black and white.&nbsp;The final third of the visual - that was filmed on location in Kiev -&nbsp;is an impressive feat. As the artist steps out onto a balcony, the camera backs away to hang suspended in mid-air above&nbsp;him. Then it&nbsp;pans back across to the skyline, revealing a post-apocalyptic scene which signals the end of humanity.&nbsp;
