Tove Lo ft SG Lewis 'Busy Girl' by David Wilson

Tove Lo & SG Lewis - Busy Girl (Official Music Video)

David Wilson directs an ode to queer dance floors around the world, in this dazzling promo for Tove Lo &amp; SG Lewis.&nbsp;Exuding a sense of uninhibited passion and dreamlike escapism, the video for Heat features a cast of dozens, a mix of nightlife staples and new faces intermingled in the crowd, as Tove dominates the catwalk.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Larger than life in every way, the video boasts slick cinematography, with gold-hued strobes and high contrast lighting creating an enigmatic, feverish atmosphere. Even more significantly, the&nbsp;video encapsulates a community, a moment in time and a sense of freedom that permeates every boundary imaginable.&nbsp;Truly unparalleled work from Wilson and team, and a really fun complement to the pulsating track - and perhaps the most noteworthy cameo from double-ended sex toys since&nbsp;that&nbsp;scene in Requiem For A Dream.&nbsp;

David Wilson is back, taking Mabel to places she has never gone before, in the&nbsp;unapologetic and hugely inventive promo for Look At My Body Pt II.Accompanied by the sultry Shygirl, Wilson presents Mabel in a succession of witty scenes which challenge the male gaze. He directs the singers through takedowns of the established historical context in art and religion, and shows that it's the female who is the superpower of the human race. It's a visual counterpoint to Mabel's quip throughout the song:&nbsp;sorry, not sorry.And for fans of David Wilson's work it provides a number of treats - not least when the live action vignettes are interrupted by a bravura animation section,&nbsp;where Mabel transforms into a giant Earth mother and merges into the Earth itself. It's very much&nbsp;in the&nbsp;style of Wilson's classic videos&nbsp;for Tame Impala and Royal Blood.&nbsp;This maximalist vision takes&nbsp;Mabel's longstanding inclination to playfulness to the next level. It has something to say, anchored by confident performances by the artists - and Wilson's top-notch direction.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

David Wilson directs a stunning 'monster film' for MASSTOR's&nbsp;Self Control, a cover&nbsp;of&nbsp;Raf’s 1984 hit.&nbsp;After spending his free time experimenting with Midjourney&nbsp;in September of 2022 - and creating @RetroFuturistDaddies, a gorgeously curated feed of AI-generated moustachioed men as a result of it - David Wilson caught the eye of LA-based artist MASSTOR, who enlisted his help in creating this&nbsp;tour de force amalgam&nbsp;of performance, character design and queer muscle aesthetic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending high-fashion nostalgia, retrofuturistic imagery and moments of pure fantasy, we see the artist hanging out in a bar, surrounded by muscle men and fellow plush creatures, having a whale of a time.It's camp, eclectic and completely engrossing, and explores areas of queer iconography that spoke directly to Wilson’s passions, having carved his name as an ever-growing presence in the&nbsp;queer filmmaking community.&nbsp;From costume design through to art direction and cinematography, it's a polished visual that retains a certain dancefloor grit and sex appeal,&nbsp;and there's one thing that can be almost guaranteed - you won't see another music video like it today![imgtoken data:2]

David Wilson explores the breakdown of a nuclear family in his oddball promo for Glass Animals' Tangerine.&nbsp;Taking place on a surreal car journey - with vocalist Dave Bayley playing a Mother, Father and child at various ages - the story follows a typical modern day life-cycle... Boy meets girl, they have a&nbsp;kid, get annoyed with each other and end up splitting, just for the process to repeat when the kid reaches adolescence.The poignant message is wrapped in a layer of quirky imagery, with subtle visual effects allowing the three characters in tandem.The execution is top-notch, and a clever way to get around social distancing and the various challenges that have carried over from the year so far.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

If you need something uplifting right now,&nbsp;look no further. Paloma Faith and director David Wilson lament the gentrification of London in brilliantly feisty fashion,&nbsp;in the wonderful&nbsp;promo for Gold.&nbsp;Decked out in a trademark whimsical dress and radiating heaps of&nbsp;energy, Paloma skips and dances down an East London market and into a building site, dangling from an excavator, kicking down doors, and just having a riotous time with some of her fellow, equally colourful&nbsp;residents.&nbsp;Paloma is magnetic as always, the supporting cast - all dancers in the Theo Adams Company - are great too, and DoP&nbsp;David Foulkes matches her energy in sweeping crane shots and fluid camera movement. It all adds up to sheer entertainment. Absolutely marvellously fabulous.[imgtoken data:1]

Ever since his marvellous video for Metronomy's The Bay, David Wilson has been able to make magic happen by the pool. And that's what happens in his video for Glass Animals' It's All So Incredibly Loud.GA's frontman Dave Bayley emerges through wisps of smoke to&nbsp;negotiate&nbsp;the diving board of a&nbsp;swimming pool in a suburban home at night. Yes, once again Wilson is making an English summer appear impossibly glamourous. He also&nbsp;brings us a heightened reality which&nbsp;almost seems nostalgic in its visual crispness.The intention&nbsp;is to capture a moment, and explore it's metaphorical meaning. Shot on both a Phantom and an Alexa, the time when Bayley inevitably enters the pool's water is stretched out to last as long as possible. Time is slowed, just as seems to happen&nbsp;when you dive into cold water - and also when you are faced with the emotional issues discussed in the song.Suitably Bayley also delivers a heartfelt performance to camera in this video that marks a triumphant return by David Wilson to the music video mainstream. A nod too to marvellous camerawork, supervised by DoP&nbsp;David Foulkes.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Christine-And-The-Queens-'Comme-Si'-by-David-Wilson

Dita Von Teese, Sébastien Tellier and David Wilson looks like a threesome made in heaven - and so it proves.The leading lady of Burlesque has got together with the most amorous man in French alt-pop to create the eponymously-titled LP Dita Von Teese. Wilson&#39;s &#39;Musical Film&#39; - which includes two full tracks&nbsp;from the album and clips from a couple of others - makes the most of the surprising chemistry between them, and the sheer visual contrast between her beautifully crafted artifice and his rough hewed hairiness.A delightful soufflé of romance, glamour, fantasy and sauciness -&nbsp;with it&#39;s tongue firmly in its cheek.&nbsp;Eight minutes just flies by...&nbsp;&nbsp;
