Jamie Thraves directs a whirlwind performance promo for Gabrielle Aplin's Call Me.&nbsp;Shot in Bristol across two short nights, the video features Aplin&nbsp;interacting with different characters as the traverses the late-night hustle and bustle of the city.Incorporating choreographed numbers and gentler, more intimate moments, it's a video that spans the spectrum of human emotion, and brilliantly executed by the creative team.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"This video for Gabrielle was a lot of fun to make, from start to finish everything just fell into place so easily," says Thraves.&nbsp;"Gabrielle and I chatted through a number of ideas that I presented to her -&nbsp;four or five&nbsp;-&nbsp;before we settled on this one. It just felt right for the song."We both wanted something fun, energetic, dramatic, gritty and a bit dark. I wanted this to feel like a scene from a musical movie."&nbsp;

Tia Salisbury directs a darkly comic promo for post-punk musician Billy Nomates, aka Tor Maries - featuring Spencer Jones, creator/star of off-the-wall TV comedy The Mind of Herbert Clumperdunk.&nbsp;In the video for Blue Bones, Jones plays Maries' super-needy slobbish partner, slurping noodles and invading her space.&nbsp;He's suffocating her both spiritually and physically,&nbsp;in&nbsp;a relationship heading towards&nbsp;its death throes.In the end, it looks like they find some level ground, before Maries hops out and starts life on a more hopeful timeline. This lo-fi effort is a&nbsp;great showcase for the artist and director, and a sign of great things to come for both.&nbsp;

Asher Knight 'By The Way' by Jack Lilley

Asher Knight - By The Way (Official Music Video)

A young man trains for the challenge of his life, in Jack Lilley's oddball promo for MarthaGunn.&nbsp;Following the impeccable visual for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/07/12/marthagunn-holding-fire-jack-lilley/71843">Holding The Fire</a>&nbsp;last month, Lilley switches up his approach, this time creating a narrative video with no performance elements - and it works brilliantly.&nbsp;Starring&nbsp;James Copplestone Farmer as the Scrabble-obsessed protagonist, the concept focuses on the training up to a series of competitions against other pro players - each played by a member of the band in hilarious disguises. The debt to Netflix smash series The Queen's Gambit is clear, but that only makes it more enjoyable.&nbsp;It's another knockout video from Lilley and team, and deserves a rewatch or two.[imgtoken data:1]

MarthaGunn 'Minute Of My Time' by Jack Lilley

MarthaGunn - Minute Of My Time

Jack Lilley explores repression and freedom, in the offbeat&nbsp;promo for MarthaGunn's Holding The Fire.Tinged with a sense of eerie foreboding. the video tells the story of a&nbsp;woman stuck in a 70s cult whose worship revolves around completing mindless repetitive tasks. She slowly becomes aware that she wants out, and we see her plan her escape and the fallout of her absence.&nbsp;Anchored by excellent&nbsp;performances from each member of the band, the concept is pitch-perfect, blending humour, elevated horror and&nbsp;nostalgic naivety.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
