Daniel Broadley directs a breezy performance promo for Pixey.&nbsp;In the video for I'm Just High, we see the artist hanging out in her bedroom, performing and posing until she gets whisked away to an outdoor fantasy land, stacked high upon a pile of mattresses and eventually floating out in a body of water.The evocative visual is a sun-soaked dream, and harks back to late 90's/early 00's nostalgia, but with a refreshing, understated twist.&nbsp;An absorbing watch and perfect introduction to the Liverpool-based singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist.

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;

Theo Watkins's video for Bristol band Palace visualises the elusive state of being between full consciousness and sleep.A spotlight in an otherwise darkened room picks out different individuals, including the band, within a house. There is variation and repetition of the setups and a consistent returning to a close-up image of a face, as if these his final thoughts as he drifts off to slumber.Watkins thorough exploration of the idea makes for an impressive, enigmatic work for the band's Lover (Don't Let Me Down).

Jack Lilley directs a hypnotic promo for Ishmael Ensemble, featuring a powerful performance from vocalist Holly Wellington, shot in a single take.&nbsp;The visual is inspired by the rawness in the lyrics of Empty Hands, which was penned shortly after Holly finished a full year of treatment for breast cancer.&nbsp;“As well as holding elation and euphoria in one hand, in the other I was experiencing a lot of emotional pain as I started to process what had happened." Wellington explains.&nbsp;"Writing the lyrics, I was envisioning standing in front of God and laying it out plainly, ‘ok so I’m still here, now what?' This body has been through so much. Do with me what you want, this all must be for something, I’m here and I’m ready. Life post-treatment is undoubtably difficult, it’s been about untangling myself mentally and then focusing on what I need to flourish, and for me that’s making art.”[imgtoken data:1]This poignance and strength can be found in every element of the visual, from the unwavering performance through to the pulsating lights and overwhelming wash of colour in the backdrop. The result is mesmerising."For the video we just wanted to focus in on Holly's performance," says Jack Lilley. "The song really has a real drive to it and it felt that having her slowly rotate throughout the whole thing would enhance that feeling of slow, undulating rhythm."We also took the risk of shooting it all on 16mm despite only having the budget for two takes. However I think it paid off in the end as the texture that it offered just helped to give the performance a more authentic feel."

Daniel Broadley directs a mesmerising promo for Nick Jonas' This Is Heaven, the latest entry from his Spaceman album campaign.&nbsp;We open on Jonas writing lines on a typewriter, detailing a spaceman whose jetpack ignites and launches him skyward - a nod to the final scene of his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3cF_AuwZIc" target="_blank">previous video</a>.&nbsp;From there, the artist is shown in a variety of performance vignettes, each with a distinctly dystopian&nbsp;sci-fi vibe, tying into the abstract aesthetic of the campaign so far.&nbsp;Shot across a handful of stunning locations, Stefan Yap's&nbsp;cinematography elevates the concept to cinematic heights, delivering on the larger than life promise of Jonas' latest project.&nbsp;

Tom Jones faces off against a&nbsp;mysterious&nbsp;oppressor, in his cover of&nbsp;Malvina Reynolds' No Hole In My Head.Directed by Daniel Broadley, the promo opens with Sir Tom standing in front of a police lineup wall, before going head to head with his anonymous nemesis&nbsp;in an interrogation room.As more characters begin to populate the room&nbsp;one-by-one, they each find the strength to shine bright and cancel out the darkness, overruling their fear&nbsp;and doubts.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a great concept, with a trademark powerful performance from the iconic artist, and plenty of attitude to boot.&nbsp;Sir Tom is clearly not done yet. And if this and his previous&nbsp;video for Talking Reality Television Blues&nbsp;are anything to go by, he is gearing up for one of his most varied and exciting releases to date.&nbsp;

Daniel Broadley directs a hyperactive vision for The Prototypes' Enter The Warrior.Simple in its concept, the performance-based visual sees featured artist B3ndu and dancer Aggie Nonsizi rocking around an empty landscape, switching between luscious shots in nature, and a more gritty section underneath a towering block of flats.Using architecture to frame the movement, Broadley - also the&nbsp;DoP on this video - matches the beat of the track with frantic, jerky motions, creating a breathless and unstoppable vibe.&nbsp;

Daniel Broadley explores how we communicate under lockdown in the documentary-style visual for Lockdown (whichis in aid of the charity Refuge).&nbsp;Collaborators&nbsp;Richard Walters and Patrick J Pearson- collectively known as LYR-&nbsp;developed the track from&nbsp;a poem by&nbsp;Simon Armitage, with narration from&nbsp;actress Florence Pugh and&nbsp;Pete Wareham of Melt Yourself Down.The video features a cast of everyday characters,&nbsp;and celebrates our collective&nbsp;actions to help the country in its time of need. Families, couples and solo dwellers stand at their windows, holding sheets of paper with snippets of the poem. This mixed media aesthetic very much captures the zeitgeist of this period, which is already packed full of its own unique iconography and themes.&nbsp;A great, out-of-the-box concept for lockdown, this is a hugely successful video with&nbsp;an exciting mix of collaborators,&nbsp;which exists to help a very worthy cause.

Cult pop-punk band Neck Deep retreat to their native South Wales (Rockfield Studios)&nbsp;for this old-school performance video, directed by Our World is Grey.It has become incredibly fashionable to mine ’90s rock performance videos as a reference. The improvisational approach of videos for Breeders, Pixies and early Weezer, as well as the cheap 16mm aesthetic of grunge, has become oddly aspirational. So it’s great to see a video that looks authentically like the post-rock videos it is channeling. And appropriate for a young, regional band carrying the DIY spirit of that era.DOPs Jamie Harding and Daniel Broadley&nbsp;deserve&nbsp;a special mention. Their period look, shot on 16mm and Super-8mm, gives the video a homegrown, lived-in quality.&nbsp;

UK country duo Ward Thomas&#39;s song No Filter is about the bottling up of feelings and then letting go. This gets a terrific interpretation in Daniel Broadley&#39;s video.Broadley presents three vignettes showing the struggles and anguish of three young people, pulled together with sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas&#39;s riveting performance of the song, and their shared therapy session.And if the seriousness of their issues and evident lack of self-worth sparks our curiosity&nbsp;- and each set-up is beautifully photographed by DoP&nbsp;Ben Coughlan - the payoff is superb. There&#39;s a roar of pain that becomes cathartic, and brings everyone together at the moment when the emotion of the song is at its peak. Powerful stuff.

Daniel Broadley&#39;s latest video for You Me At Six is a shaggy dog story wrapped in a tribute to The Big Lebowski&#39;s bowling alley scenes, with lead singer Josh Franceschi channelling&nbsp;Jeff Bridges&#39; lovably hapless&nbsp;Dude, with the rest of the band taking the other&nbsp;roles.It&#39;s bowling night, and Franceschi&#39;s dog has gone&nbsp;missing. Then it becomes clear that his sleazy bowling rivals have something to do with its disappearance.&nbsp;Time for a no-holds-barred high stakes bowling match.Rowan&#39;s of Finsbury Park, North London provides the perfect venue&nbsp;for this action-comedy, and also a groundbreaking band performance of the track Back Again in the bowling lanes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Daniel Broadley&rsquo;s video&nbsp;for You Me At Six&nbsp;is separated out into three acts and explores &#39;the expectation&#39;, &#39;the reality&#39; and &#39;the peak&#39; of a night out.&nbsp;&nbsp;With its use of atmospheric lighting, dark and flourescent, this performance piece is intertwinned with this engaging, well executed&nbsp;narrative that&rsquo;s both&nbsp;comedic and&nbsp;sophisticated.

Shades of an Anton Corbijn classic for Nirvana as new Director/DOP duo Our World Is Grey&nbsp;team up with Neck Deep on their latest single for Don&#39;t Wait.It&#39;s a surreal and bleak portrayal of loss of innocence, peppered with political sentiments and symbolism, with stylish art direction (Jess Morgan at Jam Studio),&nbsp;and wrapped in a nostalgic non-heart shaped box. &nbsp;
