Craig Bingham directs an evocative for James Blunt, reflecting on the process of getting older - which also features some gripping motorcycle action.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the video for Beside You, Bingham explores the idea of past selves, and how each version of our character has helped build the person we are today.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The concept centres on&nbsp;stunt driving and thrilling motorbike sequences to encapsulate the theme of youth and ageing, together with&nbsp;some heartfelt performance setups from the artist."This film embraces an element of surrealism," explains Bingham. "James finds himself in a rough-and-ready flat-track arena where he encounters versions of himself that have made him the person he is. "Those versions of himself are always with him, driving him forwards - Beside You."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ozzie Pullin directs a wonderfully charming and atmospheric love letter to Tom Gregory's hometown of Blackpool, in his new promo for Never Look Back.The video blends&nbsp;intimate portraits of a range of different characters and venues - including young cheerleaders, weightlifters and dance socials - and is a breezy slice of life, presenting the town in all of its glory.&nbsp;Appearing in a couple of performance vignettes down by the sea and in a social club, it's obvious Gregory is connected to Blackpool in a special way, and the video does both the town and his story justice.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Harry Barber directs an enthralling promo for Joe Unknown.&nbsp;"Joe came to me with the idea of burning this painting, which had some semblance of a journey finishing," says Barber. "And, as one journey ends, leaving behind a time and a body of memories both fond and bitter, a new one often starts."The promo is strikingly simple in concept, but contrasted against the tense atmosphere and rising screeches of sirens in the track, it becomes a powerful, gripping image.&nbsp;"We wanted to create something that had a beauty to it, but a contrasting chaos and anarchy brewing at the same time," continues Barber. "Something that felt reflective but energising. Something that pulls you in to that hypnotic state and then jolts you back out ready for pastures new."It's safe to say they've gone above and&nbsp;beyond their aspirations&nbsp;with this project.&nbsp;

Sam Davis directs a remarkable journey through a fractured landscape of memories in his promo for Irish band For Those I Love.&nbsp;Masterfully executed, the video uses photogrammetry to devise a haunting black and white world, allowing Davis to explore themes of addiction, loss and memory&nbsp;in an extensive 3D environment.&nbsp;The abstract textures and surreal aesthetic of this technologically-altered world&nbsp;border on&nbsp;the uncanny valley, reminiscent of a dream that has been recorded and dismantled, leaving fragments of reality behind.[imgtoken data:1]

Sam Davis plays upon the strange world of CCTV and surveillance in his video for Sad Night Dynamite.&nbsp;The video for Killshot explores&nbsp;how the use of surveillance&nbsp;can cast a guilty shadow on those it observes.&nbsp;As the narrative develops, the cameras start&nbsp;to seek out more and more obscurity in dark pockets of the city.To bring the voyeuristic world to life, Sam played around with pre-programmed camera moves, super long zooms, face tracking and thermal imaging, combining elements of each to create a haunting and shockingly relevant snapshot of society.&nbsp;

Sad Night Dynamite 'Killshot' by Sam Davis

Sad-Night-Dynamite--'Killshot'-by-Sam-Davis

A mini-lightshow illuminates various places across the UK, in&nbsp;Sam Davis and Tom Andrew's video for Metronomy's Whitsand Bay.&nbsp;The surreal visual follows a disco light - salvaged from an old Italian club in the '80s - filmed in various urban and natural environments across the country, from&nbsp;Tottenham to Hampshire, Suffolk and the Essex coast, to the landscapes of Pembrokeshire - and beyond.Editor Joe Walton keeps a calm and considered pace throughout, meditating on the environments and the juxtaposition of light and dark. The bursts of light are hypnotic to watch, and bring an almost alien energy to the visual - the light is unexpected and out of place, yet creates a calm, almost relaxing effect as it moves around the country.

The two-part film, co-directed by Harry Barber and Kano, explores the London rapper’s Jamaican heritage and influences, and culminates in the most humble but important of gatherings - the coming together of friends to eat and drink.In&nbsp;this fly-on-the-wall-style documentary, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7vANW3jaAM" target="_blank">the first part of the film</a> serves as a prelude to the actual video for Kano's collaboration with Jamaican superstar Popcaan on Can't Hold We Down. Kano discusses his numerous trips to Jamaica since childhood, before he heads down to favourite East London shops with his mum to prepare for the feast - where they are joined by Popcaan, just arrived from Jamaica.&nbsp;In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fCQ4drZkOE" target="_blank">Part 2 of the film</a>, we are back at Kano's mum's place, and the documentary dovetails smoothly into the music video. As Kano and Popcaan perform, dinner is cooked and served to friends, family and these legends of grime and dancehall. But not before mum blesses the table.&nbsp;

HYYTS endure a series of punishing physical challenges in quiet suburbia, in Harry Barber&#39;s absorbing video for Bullet.With some intriguing long takes, Barber exploits the fact HYYTS are two brothers, Adam and Sam, in a sequence that&#39;s repeated three times. Each time, the trials of endurance get harder, and the&nbsp;closer they get to reaching their lethal point of no return.&nbsp;
