Dan Massie teams up with James Arthur for another live promo, this time for introspective hit Avalanche.&nbsp;Shot in a contemporary social space, the focus of the concept is purely on James' performance, which slowly unravels as the track builds to its emotional climax.&nbsp;Cold blue lighting and slow, contemplative shots elevate the reflective themes in the song, whilst the inclusion of the full band adds an extra energy and finesse to the piece.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dan Massie directs an epic promo for James Arthur's September, shot live for The Late Late Show with James Corden.&nbsp;Inside&nbsp;an enormous, industrial warehouse space, James and his band perform against a wash of vivid red lights, appearing as tiny figures in relation to the gargantuan steel structure.&nbsp;The performance is full of heart and emotion, and the glossy cinematography adds a pure, feel-good pop vibe to the concept.&nbsp;

Dan Massie steps out of his customary field of live performance and into high-end VFX for Clean Bandit's collab with Croatian/German DJ Topic and UK R&amp;B singer Wes Nelson.The video for the energetic dance-pop track Drive features Nelson as a happy lorry driver, performing from the cab of his big truck through country and city - and then beyond, into outer space.Intercut with performances by Clean Bandit with dancers in a virtual space, the video employs state-of-the-art back projection technology, as well as dazzling use of lazers and CGI - plus a real 18 tonne truck - to create an effervescent visual for the feelgood track.&nbsp;

Dan Massie directs a moving performance promo for Ed Sheeran's Visiting Hours.&nbsp;Shot in a spectacular church location, the visual is similar in execution to the other videos that Massie has produced in this series, but is elevated in its own way, through ethereal, drifting camerawork.&nbsp;Sheeran's performance is top-notch - of course - but also incredibly expressive and emotive, cutting through his happy-go-lucky exterior to drill right into the core of the subject matter.&nbsp;

Dan Massie directs a brooding&nbsp;promo for Ed's current hit Bad Habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;Shot in one take in a grungy, austere room, Ed performs an acoustic version of the track, as the camera carefully unravels around him.&nbsp;The use of minimal art direction and cracked, boarded up windows, creates an enigmatic vibe, raising questions that linger unanswered in the background of the concept. The balance between the sunlight burning through the windows and barely flickering practical lights also reflect the contrast of the lyrical themes.&nbsp;

For the acoustic version of Clean Bandit and Mabel's collaboration, Dan Massie goes for a combination of futuristic and retro.It's set in a stylised art gallery meets retro TV sets - shot full frame on super-sharp lenses and super-soft filters - and Massie upcycled some of the broken-up clock set from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC8SPG2LwSA" target="_blank">official music video</a> directed by the band.

Dan Massie directs an intimate two-thousand capacity show for Taylor Swift's City Of Lovers album launch.&nbsp;Shot pre-lockdown, the video is shot in the beautiful L'Olympia venue in Paris, with Taylor performing to an excited crowd of competition winners flown in from around the world.&nbsp;In contrast with the shimmery pop promos Swift has become known for, this visual has dramatic lighting and shadows, creating a more cinematic and&nbsp;mysterious aesthetic.&nbsp;Captured with seven Alex Minis and some stunning anamorphic zoom lenses, the full concert film is now streaming on Disney+, having had it's network premiere on ABC.&nbsp;

Dan Massie captures a superb live performance by Rudimental of their latest hit These Days at the iconic Abbey Road Studios.&nbsp;Massie handles Rudimental&#39;s large band size&nbsp;- including all three featured artists, Macklemore, Jess Glynne and Dan Caplen - by arranging them in a full circle and keeping it campfire-intimate. &nbsp;With the camera on a track surrounding the players,&nbsp; that works a treat.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Maisie Peters laments her solitude as the camera pans between a perfectly iced cake and other untouched sweets, in Dan Massie&#39;s video for Birthday.For a video consisting of close-ups of food, and a single burning candle on a cake, it gets quite emotional.

Dan Massie directs a stripped-back golden performance in the hills of Ibiza for Rudimental.Shooting with a super-wide aspect ratio and a super-narrow timeframe, the stripped back performance captures the beauty of magic hour, and an intimacy that feels like a group of friends just hanging out and playing a song.Shot on an Eco Farm deep in the hills of Ibiza, it manages to capture a summer spirit in a way you&#39;d never normally associate with Ibiza at this time of year.

Rudimental--'Sun-Comes-Up-Feat-James-Arthur'-by-Dan-Massie

Dan Massie&#39;s live session with Ed Sheeran is a stripped back and simple living room performance.Ed, with his guitar and backing from a pianist, stands in a room - a living room in a stately home, perhaps, but co-opted into a recording studio space. A few physical lights dot around the room, but mostly the daylight spills in from the huge windows behind the pair. A single camera floats from Piano and swoops around Ed, this is a small-scale intimate feeling live session with plenty of breathing room for fans to immerse themselves into that room with Ed.

Finnish animator Inari Sirola has developed a Pop Art look for a serious subject, in her video for&nbsp;Press to MECO.It&#39;s a Photoshop and After Effects-fired animation that explores the heartfelt themes of the song through superficially slick imagery: a surreal&nbsp;hospital deathbed scene with a candy-coating. And suggestions of inner body workings, and jutting bones, correspond with the songtitle Autopsy.

Dan Massie&#39;s performance video for Frightened Rabbit&#39;s Woke Up Hurting was filmed in a great location: an&nbsp;abandoned German military hospital, just outside Berlin.&nbsp;The band&#39;s performance was shot in the hospital solarium, and Frightened Rabbit give it everything &ndash; in what were sub-zero temperatures.

The scene is set, tensions are high, moods are moody, and with a good-looking girl there to be won,&nbsp;the stakes are... well,&nbsp;think Rebel Without A Cause,&nbsp;but this time with motorbikes &ndash; attached to an arcade game.Directing team CRY\\WOLF do a splendid job&nbsp;creating a slick 80s style video for&nbsp;Paul Thomas Saunders&#39;&nbsp;In High Heels Burn It Down.&nbsp;Satire at its most serious.
