Willliam Williamson has directed a mesmerizing one-take video, capturing a marvellous quartet of dance talent for Philip Selway.The video for Check For Signs Of Life, the first release from Strange Dance, the forthcoming solo album from Selway&nbsp;- best known as the drummer for Radiohead - features four&nbsp;renowned and award-winning dancers and choreographers: Siobhan Davies, Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp, Simone Damberg Würtz and Liam Francis.Produced by Uncommon Creative Studio, with black and white cinematography by Adric Watson, the idea behind the video came from the artist, who has envisaged a series of dance videos to accompany several tracks from the new album. Selway wanted this piece to explore imagined conversations between future and past selves, and to be based around this particular quartet of dancers.In the video, the camera takes the role of a fifth dancer with Steadicam operator Jake Whitehouse executing that highly demanding&nbsp;role. As William Williamson explains, it was an approach that emerged out of rehearsals with the dancers.&nbsp;“Working closely alongside Philip and choreographers Simone and Liam we set out to explore the complex relationship between future and former self through the medium of contemporary dance," he says. "Transcending time and moving through varied emotions, we wanted to create a film that will inspire the audience to hang their own narrative on."As we rehearsed, the intimacy and fragility of the choreography became so clear I decided to shoot it all in a single take. It meant pulling together the dance, camera and lighting, to communicate a sense of unity and power, which stays focused in the moment.”

Maverick Sabre&#39;s heartfelt Breathe is matched with an impressive video directed by Johny Mourgue, making something of a comeback into promos.Sabre&#39;s lyrics are mirrored by an anguished man (played by Chris Coghill) obsessed with&nbsp;the girl he left behind (Gemma Chan) and trying to get back to her. There&#39;s an overriding mood of regret and remorse, and a tangible&nbsp;sense of not appreciating what you have until its gone.&nbsp;But has the&nbsp;damage already been done?&nbsp;

Shaheen is not blessed with pop star looks, but he has a big voice, and this a very well made pop video by Orlando Cubitt for the lushly romantic Last Train Home.
Orlando plucks from some familiar Eighties influences, and then handles them with great style. And its a familiar refrain around these parts, but the photography by Steve Annis is wonderful. Lovely work.

Johny Mourgue, best known for his dance-poptastic work at Flynn for the likes of Dada and Armand Van Helden, has made a diversion into darker territory with this low budget effort for Dubstep producer/singer Goldielocks. 
Johny, currently in pre-production for his next video with Zed Bias and British Soul legend Omar, has been looking to demonstrate a more serious side and this gritty yet heart-rending effort is exactly that.
