Released to tie-in with the release of his acclaimed debut feature Get Duked! on Amazon last week, Ninian Doff provides the movie's young quartet of unlikely heroes&nbsp;with a new mission of extreme&nbsp;mischief: an ill-advised break-in at a&nbsp;mansion containing the prized possessions of Run The Jewels and 2 Chainz.&nbsp;The feckless foursome's blundering efforts at a daring heist is overseen at all times by a series of animated portraits, and sculptures, of RTJ's Killer Mike and El-p, and guest star 2 Chainz. They discover the famous RTJ gloves, and some pink jewels giving off some psychotropic properties - and then they go too far.As in Get Duked!, the riotous fun that Doff creates around his characters transitions effortlessly from realistic live action comedy to something way more extreme and cartoonish - shrinking the characters down in a dimension,&nbsp;giving them metallic limbs and sending their faces into supersonic time warps, as they confront giant version of RTJ and 2 Chainz.[imgtoken data:1]It is high concept aesthetic - arguably a big step further from the movie - and it involved a really big production effort including shoots of the artists in New York and Atlanta - with Colin Read providing second unit directing duties - while Doff, aided and abetted by regular DoP Patrick Meller, shot the main action with his Get Duked! cast in the UK.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is a brilliant effort - but to properly enjoy, and get to know and love the characters, go check out the feature first.

Chris Hopewell, who reached a new level of infamy with his Radiohead video last year takes Run The Jewels on a claymation ghost train in the clip for Don&#39;t Get Captured.Taking Ray Harryhausen&#39;s classic skeletons and running them through a paranoid, gritty New York City horror show, Hopewell&#39;s video sees a claymation Mike &amp; El take a tour through the horrors of gentrification, authoritarianism, and class-based oppression.Walking the line as ever between concise political satire and effortlessly cool delivery, RTJ &amp; Hopewell have hit the nail on the head here.&nbsp;

Run The Jewels - Don't Get Captured (Official Music Video From RTJ3)

Bees, butterflies, flowers, pollination... it&#39;s the most natural thing in the&nbsp;world. And&nbsp;Ninian Doff has captured all that&nbsp;and more in all its breathtaking beauty - and then&nbsp;made it erotic by pairing it&nbsp;to the&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;explicit lyrics of&nbsp;Run The Jewels&#39; Love Again.&nbsp;Produced by Pulse in association with online US comedy channel JASH, it&nbsp;was shot by specialist&nbsp;nature documentary DOP&nbsp;Rod Clarke&nbsp;over five days in Bristol. Then editor Paul O&#39;Reilly had the mammoth task of transforming 17 hours of footage into a sizzling four minutes of viewing (and listening), giving&nbsp;the insects and plants the personality to pull off the sexual references.&ldquo;The challenge was choosing the right moments to give each insect a personality throughout the film,&rdquo; says Paul, &ldquo;We wanted the bees to look horny, the butterflies seductive, the flies dominated and the Venus flytraps alluring.&quot;The Homespun editor was on set for the whole shoot.&nbsp;&quot;It was a delicate and intriguing process to capture the film we needed to make the edit. To ensure the insects didn&rsquo;t keep flying around too fast, they were contained in a chilled environment before filming which gave them that undulating slow kinesis we wanted when exposed to room temperature.&rdquo;For Doff, it was very important for all the footage to be genuine.&nbsp;&quot;It was really important to me that all the insect footage was all real so that the video was an amazing example of how audio changes a film,&quot; he says. &quot;With piano music and David Attenborough narration this could go on TV on a Sunday Afternoon. With Run The Jewels amazing song on the exact same footage is&nbsp;so X-rated people blush watching it.[imgtoken data:1]&quot;However insects are basically emotionless robots and the challenge was to make them perform in a way that was still 100% real but told all the personality and &#39;performance&#39; I wanted. This is where the edit was really like a needle in a haystack for Paul. Literally within an hour of footage of an insect there might be two seconds of an amazing twitch or sidestep that totally elevated the video and sold the emotion. The fact that we really connect and understand what the insects are feeling, be it lust or fear, is a huge testament to Paul&#39;s work on this.&rdquo;
