A lone choirboy in his choral gown collects fragments of electronic equipment along mudflats in Broken Antenna's poignant video for Clark's Small.The track is taken from the electronic musician and soundtrack composer's latest album&nbsp;Playground In A Lake, released on classical label Deutsche Grammaphon, and features young Nathaniel Timoney on vocals - who plays the beachcoming choirboy&nbsp;in the video.Filmed in the Thames estuary, this is a tonal departure for the directing duo&nbsp;- that's&nbsp;Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- compared to previous videos for&nbsp;Hak Baker and others. But the result is a&nbsp;distinctive vision of a Ballardian 'Drowned World' evoked in Clark's new album,&nbsp;with a splendid&nbsp;performance&nbsp;from their young lead.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Dan French directs a heartfelt promo exploring body image and self esteem, for rising&nbsp;pop artist Declan J Donovan.&nbsp;Casting from a pool of actors with their own personal experiences&nbsp;with the subject matter, the video is an authentic representation of the growing sense of anxiety that stems from modern technology.&nbsp;Shot in a stylised yet understated way, we see a string of vignettes depicting the darker side of social media - and its effect&nbsp;on several young adults - before the film u-turns into an empowering display of positivity, disregarding societal standards and confidently stepping up into their true selves.&nbsp;

Meji Alabi directs an intense and timely exploration of violence and inequality, in his video for Burna Boy's Monsters You Made, featuring Chris Martin.&nbsp;Having watched a devastating montage of traumatic&nbsp;events, a group of soldiers - led by Burna Boy - are training to revolt against the systems and people in power.&nbsp;The concept encapsulates the themes of the track, and is a timely meditation on an unjust society, where violence is bred from birth and is a matter of life and death for many people.&nbsp;

Royal Blood come roaring back, with a suitably powerful visual accompaniment to the rousing, very catchy&nbsp;Trouble's Coming by Lx.Combining both performance and elements of narrative, Lx draws upon the band's visual history to make something fresh. So there's a sketched storyline involving with a brooding threat of violence - and involving the RB boys Mike and Ben finally setting off in their vintage Cortina GXL. That's blended with a performance by the duo which is slick and stylised - and, crucially, it's as viscerally&nbsp;engaging as the narrative.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a departure from his usual stamping ground of hip hop and grime, Lx shows that his strength in delivering charismatic performances, within a framework of strongly art directed and VFX-enhanced set-ups translates extremely well for the Brighton-based duo's banging rock tune. No trouble at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Royal Blood 'Trouble's Coming' by Dir. Lx

Oliver Jennings directs an energetic, neon-hued promo for Sigala and James Arthur.&nbsp;Speeding down the road in the backseat of a luxury Rolls Royce, Arthur performs as a convoy of vehicles make a formation, heading in the same direction.&nbsp;Eventually congregating under a storm of fireworks and pyrotechnics, the passengers enjoy the opportunity to socialise (in a socially-distanced way, of course) and experience the feel-good vibes together."Taking a crew out of London into Millbrook Proving Ground, Milton Keynes was well worth the trip. Milbrook were very accommodating and enabled us to achieve the creative," says Oliver Jennings.&nbsp;"With fireworks, action vehicles and&nbsp;aerial teams there was a lot to navigate from a production side, whilst also following the COVID-19 rules."&nbsp;Wonderfully vibrant, the video is an ambitious interpretation of the bouncy track, anchored by Arthur's understated performance.&nbsp;

Jack Willoughby makes his eye-catching music video directing debut for new hip hop star Morgan.&nbsp;In the Hostess video the action takes place in a&nbsp;palatial English mansion, lined with historic portraits of 17th century English kings. Morgan is not impressed. So she brings these bewigged fops to life, plying them with champagne, in good hostess style - with an added deadly ingredient.DoP&nbsp;David Wright contrasts the idea of tradition and structure with a range of off-kilter angles and stylised lighting, and Willoughby brings out top-notch performances from both Morgan and her young accomplice. And those doomed historical characters are definitely off-the-wall.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Oliver Jennings rebuilds the corner shop from AJ Tracey's neighbourhood in the studio, and creates a dizzying vibe around the shop, in this breathless clip for West Ten - featuring a charismatic contribution from Mabel."I wanted to bring something iconic from AJ’s area into the studio and create a heightened version of a familiar setting," says Jennings. "It’s just an everyday scenario but completely transposed into an artificial setting. I wanted to play with transitioning into different parts of the video, like where he’s sitting in his car surrounded by cats and we suddenly travel into his chain. We also see some great performances from Mabel performing from above the shop."

Directing trio Crowns &amp; Owls transport Octavian to a surreal wonderland in the hypnotic visual for Poison, negotiating a world between love, lust... and something much darker.&nbsp;Utilising four cameras - including the FLIR thermal camera - the visual is a tapestry of experimental setups, each shot in a stylised, hyper-exaggerated way. Turning traditional rap videos on their head, performance is still very much the focus of the video, yet Kaname Onoyama's mind-bending cinematography adds a standout unique flair and polish.&nbsp;CROWNS &amp; OWLS:“It was rad to build a world around this tune, and to have had the trust from Octavian to try something we’re not really seeing in UK rap videos. There’s some really nice themes going on in the song, but we focused on playing with the central idea of lust and imagining that as a poisonous substance."Using a custom rig we were able to use a dual camera system; one capturing reality whilst the other was simultaneously capturing a thermal version of the same shot. This allowed us to seamlessly slip between two worlds as we’re following the artists through a fever dream."The video was shot just before the UK Covid-19 lockdown, with post happening remotely during quarantine. We’re so thankful to all of the amazing individuals who helped this video come together during such strange times.”[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>This is the result of using four cameras - two Alexa Minis, a Flir thermal camera and an Insta 360.</blockquote>KANAME ONOYAMA (DoP):“This music video, which we shot in one day, is the result of using four cameras (two Alexa Minis, a Flir thermal camera and an Insta 360) and many different setups and lenses. Crowns &amp; Owls are a trio of directors/photographers, skilled both artistically and technically, and with a precise vision of what they wanted for this music video."It was very interesting to look with them for the right setups to make this vision a reality; and, in spite of the very little time we had to prep everything, I am hopeful that we managed to create something as crazy, disturbing and beautiful as they had in mind.”

Octavian ft Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar & Santi 'Poison' by Crowns & Owls

Polish-German director Aldona Kwiatowski makes a notable music video debut for this track from Elderbrook's debut album. It's a story of a brief encounter, featuring&nbsp;Charly Clive and Tamica Thompson.The video for Numb&nbsp;explores the introspectiveness of feeling alone,&nbsp;and the delight of friendship - which turns out to&nbsp;be fleeting, or at least temporary.Clive's character is distinctly alone,&nbsp;as she prepares for a night out, and then walks through the streets of Shoreditch. But then something happens when she connects with another woman, and develops a non-verbal bond, through dance. It's a charming device to demonstrate the growing&nbsp;chemistry between them, delicately handled by&nbsp;Kwiatowski.&nbsp;And there is room to explore the possible history of the relationship, which has a poignant ending.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;
