Brian Fairbairn and Karl Eccleston&#39;s video for Brendan Maclean, is a tribute to Hal Fischer&#39;s 1970s study of gay semiotics, taxonomies and sexual behaviours, and features highly explicit scenes of unsimulated penetrative gay sex. And then it keeps on going.&nbsp;Brian and Karl and Maclean follow Kirsten Fischer&#39;s observations&nbsp;into the world of extreme fetish behaviour and a final shot which, well, once you&#39;ve seen it, you can&#39;t really ever unsee it. It involves a bottom having a poo and Maclean&#39;s head.&nbsp;There you go. Should&#39;ve written Spoiler Alert&nbsp;at the start of this piece, I guess. But it looks like a lot of people have already seen this anyway. Including, before it&nbsp;was inevitably&nbsp;removed,&nbsp;a viewing&nbsp;figure on&nbsp;YouTube almost as mind-boggling as the video itself.&nbsp;The inevitable furore it&#39;s caused has also led to pieces by&nbsp;Hollywood Reporter and Huffington Post, and of course plenty of online reaction - even death threats. Brendan Maclean has also <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/07/queer-art-pushes-boundaries-why-i-made-my-explicit-gay-porn-music-video?CMP=share_btn_fb" target="_blank">himself written about the experience of making the video</a>, and below Brian &amp; Karl explain their thinking in making this highly explicit and controversial music video.[imgtoken data:1]

The hand of a woman controls FFS (Franz&nbsp;Ferdinand and&nbsp;Sparks)&nbsp;on her tablet&nbsp;in this video for Call Girl, directed by Sasha Rainbow, where the bands&#39;&nbsp;digitalised instruments,&nbsp;style and&nbsp;emotions&nbsp;changed and controlled with a swipe.Using a data-moshing glitch technique, FFS play self-aware avatars brought to life in what feels like a classically&nbsp;graphic yet uncharacteristically glitchy&nbsp;music video&nbsp;setting.

Kinga Burza returns to music videos - her first since Ellie Goulding&#39;s <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2014/01/09/ellie-goulding-goodness-gracious-kinga-burza" target="_blank">Goodness Gracious</a> last year &ndash; for Foxes, and for Better Love she&nbsp;tackles a very identifiable dilemma for the modern girl. &nbsp;Louisa Rose Allen (aka Foxes) plays a&nbsp;girl who&#39;s&nbsp;in a relationship that&nbsp;could be much better. It&#39;s just that when the&nbsp;physical attraction is strong,&nbsp;it&#39;s not so easy to say goodbye...

Directing team Factory Fifteen and production company Nexus have created an epic VFX-driven interpretation of a futuristic dystopian&nbsp;world for Ninja Tune artist The Bug, in conjunction with VICE and Intel&#39;s platform&nbsp;The Creators Project.The London-based collective have made the film for two tracks from The Bug&#39;s new album Angels &amp; Devils - Function and Void &ndash; fashioning a high-tech version of the classic story of state oppression and individual fight for freedom.The narrative follows the life of a human drone, medicated to think, feel and function,&nbsp;and as he becomes aware of his state,&nbsp;the impact on the&nbsp;world around him when he stops conforming.&nbsp;The fundamental weakness of totalitarianism is exposed and the&nbsp;fabric of the city crumbles spectacularly around our hero...&nbsp;&ldquo;We wanted to reflect The Bug&#39;s thematic ideas and visually explore the narrative of a person stuck in a totalitarian system, using themes from our current society of consumerist lifestyles.&quot; Factory Fifteen explain. &quot;The whole process was critically engaging and allowed us to truly build a world ...and then tear it down.&rdquo;Read a full interview with Factory Fifteen about the making of the video&nbsp;<a href="http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/video-premiere-function-void-the-bug-factory-fifteen" target="_blank">on The Creators Project blog</a>.&nbsp;

The Bug 'Function/Void' by Factory Fifteen

The Bug "Function / Void" By Factory Fifteen (Music Video)

From the start of Mathy &amp; Fran&#39;s video for Dan Croll&#39;s From Nowhere its clear that we&#39;re about to witness some kind of competition - but what is it?That initial&nbsp;mystery is just one of the good things about this charming piece, which has a premise that will resonate with anyone who spent much time&nbsp;in a school playground.It&#39;s also a very good vehicle for the up and coming singer-songwriter, presenting him&nbsp;as something of a cool geek who&#39;s not to be messed with. And as with a few of their other vids, the directing duo also populate the video with a group of attractive but distinctive extras, as Dan&#39;s competition.And although it&#39;s not an interactive video, it&nbsp;also invites the viewer to also get involved. Well,&nbsp;how long can you watch it without blinking..?&nbsp;
