Jeshi ft Obongjayar 'Protein' by Will Dohrn

Jeshi - Protein (feat Obongjayar)

Claire Arnold creates a gothic marvel&nbsp;for Bree Runway's Eighties-tastic&nbsp;S.L.Y.&nbsp;The beautifully mounted theatrical concept is a suitable response to Bree's surprising foray into bombastic 80s-style ballad pop,&nbsp;with Bree&nbsp;traversing&nbsp;a&nbsp;gothic building like a fairy tale character, picked out by spotlights, and eventually stepping out into an abstract environment among the clouds.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;Presenting a haunting&nbsp;fantasy world, the video includes many things viewers will expect from Bree Runway - including slick choreography and extravagant styling - but also a more vulnerable, emotional side to the artist.It all proves that there is little that Bree cannot do.

Bree Runway 'Somebody Like You' by Claire Arnold

Bree-Runway--'S.l.y-(somebody-Like-You)'-by-Claire-Arnold

Will Dohrn directs a brilliantly inventive promo for Jeshi, mixing&nbsp;live action with thousands of printed photographs to brilliant effect.Shot entirely practically in locations around London, the video is a remarkable feat, with an arresting yet fluid aesthetic which interweaves multiple formats and storylines. Jeshi's understated performance style slots in to the concept perfectly too, ensuring the final project, which was graded by Connor Coolbear, is&nbsp;both seamless and brilliantly watchable.Will Dohrn reveals that his inspiration came from pre-motion film technology, adapted to the modern world.&nbsp;"Life as a zoopraxiscope," he says, describing the overall concept."The zoopraxiscope was invented by Eadweard Muybridge in the late 1800’s," Dohrn explains.&nbsp;"[Muybridge] realised that spinning a series of photographs or illustrations in front of the eye at a certain speed would animate the images, inventing the first ever motion picture or video as we now describe it.&nbsp;"In the film we unravel the zoopraxiscope into a seemingly never-ending line of photographs that portray recollections from Jeshi’s past, guiding his path through familiar or significant places in his life."&nbsp;

Edem Wornoo directs a reflective promo for Tik-Tok sensation Zakhar.&nbsp;The video touches upon the artist's self-belief and his mission to prove doubters wrong, and was filmed on the&nbsp;Islington block in which he lives.&nbsp;The cinematic visuals make excellent use of light and silhouette, and understated VFX that renders Zakhar's pals as invisible, Wornoo teases elements of a narrative,&nbsp;whilst keeping the focus on Zakhar's introspective but compelling performance.&nbsp;Boasting a confident and assured energy, something tells us 2022 will be a big year for the newcomer - and indeed the creative team behind the dynamic video.&nbsp;

Zakhar 'Never Hiding' by Edem Wornoo

Zakhar-'Never-Hiding'-by-Edem-Wornoo

Big Zuu, JME and Novelist mete out some revenge on their haters in Edem Wornoo and Claymation maestro William Child's collaboration for Offline.With the track directed at the internet trolls who have doled out abuse online to each artist, Wornoo and Child have created a visual that allows each rapper to find their own chief&nbsp;tormentor and deliver some justice, in full-bodied Claymation-style.&nbsp;Wornoo developed the concept for the video, and then brought it to Child's studio, Gravy Mercedes, in Bristol, to bring it to life. It's the first time they have worked together - indeed the first time Child has co-directed a project.[imgtoken data:1]“OTT violence is always a lot of fun in Claymation," notes Child. "And it feels like a great medium to reflect Zuu, JME and Nov’s performance personas as funny, chilled guys....until you f*ck-around-and-find-out that they don’t take insults lightly.”<blockquote>OTT violence is always a lot of fun in Claymation.</blockquote>"This video is a homage to a time before we could hide behind screens, a time when words and actions held consequences," says Wornoo, adding that Child's attention to detail during its production was something to behold.&nbsp;“He should have his own TV show because every time his Claymation brought one of our scenes to life I genuinely laughed out loud.”The video shows Child leaning into Wornoo’s 'street level fantasy'&nbsp;incorporating luminescent lighting that adds a somewhat dream-like quality.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]In addition, with the help of DoP Luke Harper and compositor Harry Davidson, the video features live action footage interspliced on TV screens in the stop-motion world, recorded on a FLIR thermal imaging camera, with its own punchy in-camera colour scale. The directors were able to bridge the two worlds harmoniously.“It was my first time sharing directing responsibilities with someone else, meaning a totally different workflow to that I’m used to," he&nbsp;says of the production which was created in both Bristol and London.&nbsp;“Edem is incredibly talented and the clarity of his initial vision for the video made it super easy to understand and then execute.&nbsp;Between Edem’s on- point notes and Ground Work’s meticulous production, it made for a great experience for my first time collaborating in this way.”

Following its release last month, this is the Director’s Cut, which expands on Grant's vision.

Avesta Keshtmand directs a transcendent promo for&nbsp;Emma-Jean Thackray.Inspired by the themes and aesthetics of sci-fi, psychedelia&nbsp;and B-movies, Thackray and Keshtmand tell the story of an outsider at a dinner party, full of mass-produced foods and judgemental side-glances. Lost in her own world, Emma-Jean is then transported to somewhere more natural, flowery and free.Oozing a sense of carefree nostalgia, the video is mesmerising to look at, and celebrates the maximalist art and aesthetics of the time period it pays homage to.&nbsp;Avesta Keshtmand is a British-Afghan filmmaker living and working in London.&nbsp;Last year, Keshtmand was one of five unsigned British directors to win a place on Three Minutes,&nbsp;Crack Magazine’s incubator scheme funding five music videos by rising talents. The scheme is produced in association with our production company Ground Work and made possible by Burberry, Shure and BFI NETWORK.

Rudá Santos's video for Ross From Friends,&nbsp;for the electronic DJ’s new single The Daisy,&nbsp;blends a reverence for speed-cubing competitions and a bittersweet twist worthy of a sci-fi classic.We are transported through a trippy time-warp to an unassuming park, where a young girl discovers a Rubik’s Cube and a timer on a bench. Her passion for ‘speed-cubing’ ignited, we then follow her on a journey where she works to master her skills.Our young heroine progresses to a speed-cubing competition,&nbsp;battling through to reach her goal in time. As she wins the competition, however, viewers are confronted with a surreal twist...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending an admiration for speed-cubing&nbsp;with the unexpected ending, Rudá Santos also employed 3D animated sequences to bookend the film and reinforce the sci-fi elements. In order to capture authentic, realistic performances, he also chose to cast real Rubik’s Cubers in the promo - including Katie Mouchan-Davies as the main protagonist.
