Happy-go-lucky character Ricardo is on an ultimate quest to become an air marshaller, in NAVS's wonderfully daft&nbsp;promo for&nbsp;James Vincent McMorrow.Following his aspirational journey in a series of hilarious vignettes, we see Ricardo - played by&nbsp;Nicolas Arturo -&nbsp;try his utmost to achieve his dream by&nbsp;reading the Air Marshalling Manual, visiting the local model aeroplane store, and breaking onto airfields to&nbsp;direct plane traffic.Skilfully shot and directed, NAVS brings out an indie film-style vibe across the short runtime, and perhaps sows the seeds for a longer form project down the line...

Rag 'n' Bone reflects on societal pressures and the idea of belonging, in Joe Connor's monumental promo for Alone.Backed up by his full band, the video follows a group of outcast personalities&nbsp;looking for meaning in their lives, who transcend their realities and embrace the light that surrounds them.&nbsp;Shot in a clandestine mega-structure, the location is as much of a character as the cast members, and lends a larger than life feel to the enigmatic concept.&nbsp;

Thomas James explores the fleeting nature of relationships and emotion,&nbsp;in his video for&nbsp;Bobby Gillespie &amp; Jehnny Beth.Inhabiting an empty house, the artists are shown existing in their own space, together but apart, never quite reaching a comfortable medium.&nbsp;There is tension in the air, occasionally erupting into frantic movement and anguished looks, examining the nature of a relationship that was never meant to be.&nbsp;The abstract concept is visualised with excellent black and white cinematography by DoP Tim Sidell, and the performances are perfectly uncomfortable in their execution.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Jonatan Egholm Keis directs a beachside epic for&nbsp;James McMorrow &amp;&nbsp;Rudimental collaboration on Be Somebody.&nbsp;Shot across various locations in Denmark, the video represents a crumbling relationship through abstract vignettes and choppy, intense edits.&nbsp;Visualising the upbeat music through frenetic movement, we see a couple ride a motorbike at dusk, freefall down sandy dunes and have fiery, heat-of-the-moment arguments, whilst backdropped by dazzling landscapes.&nbsp;There might not be much of a narrative, but the concept is&nbsp;all the better for it - and DoP&nbsp;Robin Holtz ensures that every frame is a worthy still image in its own right.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Joe Connor and Tim Mattia collaborate over the pond, in the video&nbsp;for&nbsp;Rag 'n' Bone Man &amp; P!nk's collab on Anywhere Away From Here.Working together to create a seamless production, the UK section of the video was shot in&nbsp;The Duke Of York’s Theatre in the West End, where nature has overtaken every inch of the space, with plants growing from the stalls and wild animals stalking the stage.&nbsp;For the US section, seasoned industry vets P!nk and Mattia create&nbsp;magic in an understated yet affecting way, bringing a remarkable dynamism and presence to the project.&nbsp;It's a great collaboration, anchored by top-notch performances and picture perfect cinematography, from Patrick Meller in London, and Justin Moro in the US. And&nbsp;Joe Connor explains that the origins of his idea for the video came a long time ago.&nbsp;"I wrote in a journal once that I wanted to plant a real cornfield in a theatre when I was training at Royal Central School London," he reveals. "And we managed to do it. It's mad how things manifest years later."&nbsp;

Will Hooper kicks off the New Year with an impeccable promo&nbsp;for Rag’n’Bone Man’s&nbsp;All You Ever Wanted.&nbsp;Visualising the song’s social commentary on overpopulation and gentrification, Hooper presents the idyll of a pristine model village, bringing his trademark charm and wit to the table.&nbsp; As the track progresses however, the layers are peeled back to reveal the reality hidden beneath: an unhinged dystopia playing&nbsp;out in live action.Every detail in the video had to be meticulously planned out through a series of animatics and storyboards. This took place weeks prior to shooting, in order for the model village set build - led by Jennifer Kidd - to work with the matchframe scenes in the live action.This attention to detail has paid off - the video is a stunning and unexpected take on very important themes, with an unforgettable aesthetic and visual style, which perfectly complements Hooper's recent steps into the bizarre and uncanny.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Keane Pearce Shaw tackles toxic masculinity in the heartfelt promo for Tom Grennan's Little Bit Of Love.&nbsp;Focusing on&nbsp;a semi-autobiographical narrative between Grennan and his&nbsp;younger brother - played brillantly by Luke Kelly - the video is a poignant exploration of adulthood and family, with intertwining vignettes that balance emotive performance with a hyperstylised aesthetic.&nbsp;It's an unexpected take on the track, but brilliantly conceptualised and executed by Shaw and the creative team.[imgtoken data:1]

Tom Haines embraces the echoes left behind by nightlife culture, in his passionate promo for Camelphat's Easier.&nbsp;Haines reimagines the past barren year of club culture, the ghostly reminders of what&nbsp;life was like just over ten months ago, with the help of regular collaborator, DoP Steve Annis. They pull together a more optimistic perspective as we weave in and out of&nbsp;outlandish, no-holds-barred dance spectacles.&nbsp;It begins with the lead character engaging with the technology that makes the clubbing experience so special and otherworldly, and soon there is a vibrant&nbsp;display of lasers, haze and remote heads, encapsulating the hypnotic, hyperactive energy of the dancefloor - just like the good old days.

Berwyn takes a introspective saunter&nbsp;through late-night Peckham, in Ethan + Tom's video for Vinyl.Tapping into that quietly centred charisma that made his <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/07/27/berwyn-trap-phone-brock-neal-roberts/65800" target="_blank">UKMVA-winning video for Trap Phone</a> so special,&nbsp;Ethan Barrett and Tom Gullum&nbsp;have situated Berwyn's performance of this heartfelt track on an&nbsp;inner London high street that edges between reality and a dreamlike state.The up-and-coming directing duo have already made an impression with their visual inventiveness, but they keep the&nbsp;high-octane trickery of their videos for Flohio mostly in locker here. It's all about Berwyn's compelling performance, framed by excellent cinematography by Terrence Wilkins, and a constantly moving, occasionally rotating camera.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Headie One and Aitch unwind in a French hotel - in the middle of London -&nbsp;in KC Locke's exuberant promo for Parlez-Vous Anglais.Living the life of luxury, the artists are shown in a series of opulent rooms, switching from performance to snapshots of the high life - getting a massage, kicking back and watching a fashion show, and getting waited on hand and foot.&nbsp;It's a more relaxed approach in comparison with some of Locke's more action-focused, frenetic work, but his trademark style and energy are all over this concept, taking us into a dreamworld where anything you could ever want is right at your fingertips.&nbsp;

KC Locke directs a&nbsp;charismatic, gritty&nbsp;performance video for Tom Grennan's Amen.&nbsp;Shot across Manchester and the North West, the promo challenges society's view on&nbsp;masculinity and mental health, through a handful of conceptual setups.&nbsp;It's in contrast to some of the more glitzy visuals he is known for - though his action-packed style is evident in several scenes - resulting in a poignant and exciting concept, that proves his versatility as a director in the music video space.
